>Is it better to use page frames or buttons on a screen to go from 1 form to another? I have an application that I'm converting from DOS. It has some general info. that gets entered that's common to 4 forms. Is it better design to have each form be a page or is it better to have buttons on the screen to move between screens? If I use page frames, does the general info go on page 1?

I don't think it's a question of 'better', but a question of convenience. Does everyone who uses the system have a need for all 4 screens? 3 screens? If so, I'd go with the pageframe, with the common information on page 1. If not, I'd keep separate screens with the common fields being displayed on all.
