>Also, which would you do? Make them non-modal (and run the risk of the user changing forms via the window-menu?) or make them close out of each cListObjEditForm to access the ever-present SideBarForm-navigator?

Hi Dustin,
I'm just finishing up a project that uses the sidebarform as the app's main navigation. And I just let the native modal form's in the framework stay modal... their modal because the point is the user is suppose to finish or cancel the edit (or whatever else function the modal form is serving up) before continuing on elsewhere & in my situation that works fine. Afterall if they need to hit the sidebarform to navigate to something else, then they should cancel the edit before doing so.
