I guess what I am trying to achieve is to restrict my users to one task at a
time. I have a number of simple CRUD forms for maintaining master file data
eg setup of accounts. I want the users to complete an account setup task
before doing anything else or opening any other forms. Also on this form I
want menu items such as Help and also navigation to other functions (such
navigation would of course close the current form after checking for any
updates etc).
