3. Add a label to the frame with the caption "Frame 1".

4. Set the following properties on the Label:

   Property	Value

5. Copy the frame and paste two copies of it on the form.

6. Change the labels in the new frames to be Frame 2 and Frame 3.

7. Change the Name properties of the frames to Frame2 and Frame3 respectively.
