Well, I do seem to be over my quota for postings today...
Anyway, one way to avoid LabVIEW 7.0 from crashing is NOT to programmatically change the colors of a Tab page which has been hidden (learned this one the hard way :-( ). I had a sub-VI which would set the selected tab's page to a different color than the other pages so that it would be more obvious which page is selected (check out Apple's web site for a good example of the right way to do tabs).
I now have to check that the page is visible before setting its colors or LabVIEW 7.0 dies a horrible death (fortunately, at least for software, there is such a thing as reincarnation ;-).
