PageFrame Bug

When you add a pageframe without tabs to a container class ...

Height is allowed to be less than 30, but when the class is saved and then
reopened, you will get an error saying that the height is too small.
You must then hack the VCX and correct the height in order to open the class
in the designer.

First, this is a bug. The height should not be checked when tabs are off.
Second, I really hate it when I get an error like this, and then that's it.
VFP doesn't try to open the VCX. It leaves you hanging, with no choice but
to hack the changes.

Why doesn't VFP just open the file?

Just my two cents.

Before I go wandering off to test this, which version are you talking about?
