ok so for example in a website id have

MAIN MENU
Home
Companies
Clients

SUB MENU - COMPANIES
Info
Staff
History
Attachments

so would i have one main form with main menu in
sub menu with the comanpanies sub loaded on click

then child forms for info, staff, history, attach...

or would everything have its own form?

Thanks

well im converting from website to app arent i :P

well for example after a company is loaded, the company ID needs to be available for all sub company forms

if i used main forms for all my pages, when i click a button to go to a different form the screen doesnt flicker or open another form ontop does it, it opens it in place (like a webpage would? lol)
