In this case Tony, tabs might make good sense. Each animal has three sets
of health related topics -- health exams, weight, and vaccines. I want to
relieve the user of a lot of extra clicks to get there, regardless, so tabs
seems like a good way to to. I'm thinking a tab for acquisition and
disposition might be a good idea down the road too -- I already have those
in place as individual forms, but in retrospect, yeah... they kind of go
together -- the animal comes in, it leaves eventually.
