You have other choices: - Don't use separate forms. Use one form with buttons for the tabs. - Save the text and settings from the first form and go to the second form. You can save them in preferences, features, a database, etc. >I thought it would be easier and faster for the user to keep all the forms >they have accessed in memory and then commit them to the database when they >press OK. The Palm OS makes a lot more sense and is easier to write software for if you use one form at a time (at least that's my conclusion after writing software for this platform for 6 years). That's doesn't preclude you from displaying alerts or dialogs on top of that form. The OS is fast enough that there aren't any speed penalties taking that approach.
