Rather than delete this thread, perhaps you can post what your mistake was, and how you fixed it. Then others may learn from it.

I suspect the answer is that the listbox was not placed on the tab page. It's parent was probably the form rather than the tab page but positioned at the same place as the tab page. It was therefore always visible. By removing it and placing it on the selected tab page the problem was solved, making it owned by the tab page rather than the form directly. Am I right?

Marcus,
You've already answered the cause. I just moved the 1st ListBox under TabPage=Email. The 2nd ListBox statement was faulty.
