>>>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?

That's funny John. You expect Memphians to remember what Page 3 really is ?

They can hardly figure out "Customer List." All kidding aside, I'll look into captions using hotkeys non numbered.
