 I think everything is all set. Going live tomorrow. Thanks for all of your help.

pdirect, If you go to Customize > Portals, do you see any Portals listed there that list Customer Portal as the tab? If you do that is what the error message is referring to, deleting the portals that have the Customer Portal as the tab should allow you to delete the tab. -Michael
