All you can really do with the provided mechanics is add a change 
listener to the model. But that only fires stateChange events when the 
index is switched - which could happen on an add or remove, or somply 
switching tabs. I think you're into subclassing to add the behavior you 
want - I'd probably use a subclassed model to differentiate between 
"switching" due to adding/removing tabs, or just siwtching between them.

You can add a ContainerListener to the JTabbedPane.  You will get a
componentAdded() event each time a tab is added.

Thanks John, that sounds perfect!  I'm in the midst of some Visual
FoxPro coding right now (dont' ask!), but I'll try your suggestion
later this week.
