Steve,

Okay, so you could just load the data for the next record, and if the form is going to stay the same, simply refresh() the form.

The pageframe idea may work great for you. Set the tabs property of the pageframe to false. Put your navigation buttons below the page frame. Add a method to the form to set the proper pageframe:

* cmdNext pseudo code
navigate to next record in table
thisform.setPageFrame()

* form.setPageFrame() method
* you may have to do more than this when switching between pages
if table1.recordType = "Police"  && this is hypothetical
    thisform.pageframe1.activePage = 1
else
    thisform.pageframe1.activePage = 2
endif

I'm not a big fan of the navigating records one at a time, but I guess it has its place.

Good luck!
