Yeah, I have the bitter taste of what you describe in my mouth. Dang!
I am thinking I will try to use the Main TabPanel as a Faux TabPanel,
ie the height is set minimally to display the tabs, then on the
change event, have the other tab panels, stacked right below, hidden
and shown as necessary.
Thanks for your advice.

Nested Tabpanels are indeed annoying. REALbasic 2006 supports them
somewhat... but if you're not careful, you will end up screwing up
everything related to the subpanel and its child controls
(especially if you
add a child control to the parent panel, or reorder anything).
If you can stand the mess, then something you can do is to put the
sub-panel
off of the main window (and thus, off of the main panel). Then when
you want
to bring the panel into view (eg, the parent's panel's value has
changed to
a value that is supposed to have a sub-panel), then you
programmiatically
move the subpanel onto the parent panel. You do this by changing the
subpanel's (and its childrens') .left and .top properties (and if
necessary,
.width and .height). This will only work if your subpanel's (and its
childrens') control order is lower than your parent panel (that is,
if your
parent panel's control order is 10, then your subpanel's control
order must
be 11 or above, and likewise for its children).
I hope this helps.
