In cases like this, I would go with one form with a pageframe. You could configure the pageframe to be tabless, in which case, it would look to the user that they were going to a separate form but in reality they never leave the form.
IMO, it would make sequencing easier. Also, all the configuration tables could exist in one dataenvironment.
Just a thought.

>>If the new form is modal there are major problems with it. The modality will stop program execution after having released the form. However, because you are in the Click event of a commandbutton on the released form, it isn't really released. This could generate a C5 error.
