Unless I am not understanding what you are doing, you shouldn't need to have
any application bloat (except for a slight duplication of the resources).
You should write common code to handle the navigation form and have the
event handler for each form just call the common navigation code. Not only
will this reduce your code size but will also be a whole lot easier to
maintain.

Hi Richard,
That's too bad. I was hoping to avoid application bloat due to
having the same navigation code repeated in each forms event handler. Each
form has it's only event handler. Well it was worth asking! I didn't know
if someone had some sort of trick for get around this.
sigh,
Steve

With one CPU, two different things "at the same time" is never really
possible. Further, you only have access to one thread from the OS. Since
the navigation part is a small percentage of the total form, it seems like
you should just use "n" forms, each one repeating the navigation portion.
Or, you could use 1 form and dynamically generate the controls for each "new
form".
