Very, very strange.
Lets asume we have 4 tabs and want to add a 5'th

tabstrip1.count should be 4 now

  idx = tabstrip1.count - 1 ' idx will be set to 3 here
  with tabstrip1
    .count = .count + 1  ' increase 4 to 5
    .index = idx         ' idx is 3
    .text = "New Tab"    ' is this on the 4'th tab instead the 5'th ?
  end with

idx should be 3 here, and you do increase the .count for the 5'th tab 
then the .index for it should be 4 (0 based).

Try to add the print instruction

  idx = tabstrip1.count - 1 ' idx will be set to 3 here
  with tabstrip1
    .count = .count + 1  ' increase 4 to 5
    print .count         ' i'm currious what you see, should be 5
    .index = idx         ' idx is 3 but should be 4 (the new last tab index)
    .text = "New Tab"    ' is this on the 4' tab instead the new 5' ?
  end with

If the print .count is wrong (not 5 but other) then the _WITH tabstrip1_ 
does something strange/wrong. 

I do suggest to try without the beautifull _WITH_, just once for test

'  with tabstrip1
    tabstrip1.count = tabstrip1.count + 1 ' from 4 to 5
    print tabstrip1.count
    tabstrip1.index = tabstrip1.count - 1 ' 5 - 1 = 4
    tabstrip1.text = "New Tab"
'  end with

If this works then you may have found a bug in WITH for the handling the properties.
