Rodrigo,

If I understand correctly, I build the individual tabs in a QTabWidget
rather than individually importing them into the main application window as
tab/page content.

Yes, the two button file is a minimum working example. There will be about 7
tabs in the main application for data entry/modification.

Yes, it does.

I'm going to read Alan Moore's book (and finish Martin Fitzpatrick's book)
before going back to coding. I'll still have questions but a much better
understanding of the PyQt system.

Stay well,
