>>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?

You can have both. Set the caption properties of the tabs to use hotkeys. An example would be where you had three pages. this.pageframe1.pagecount=3
this.pageframe1.page1.caption='Page\<1'
this.pageframe1.page2.caption='Page\<2'
this.pageframe1.page3.caption='Page\<3'
this.pageframe1.page3.setfocus()

The user can keyboard with alt+1 to page 2, alt+2 to page 2 etc.
