I have a tab control in my LabVIEW program. I set the default of the tab control to page three. In older versions of LabVIEW, when the program opens, it opens with page three showing. Prefect! But now in LabVIEW 2009, it opens to page 1 showing. I've tried setting the default over and over, but it just won't open with page three showing. It looks like this is broken in LabVIEW 2009. (I know that I can get around this, but it looks sloppy when the program opens on page one and jerks over to page three. And changing page order would break the code. I'd rather not do that.)

To make the workaround smoother, you could uncheck the show front panel when called property of the vi and show it programatically after you switched to page 3. Felix
