[AccessD] Split form wizard

Hey Susan
Where applicable to a project I loved using the tabs. Some of the tabs had
information that was static (enter once) other tabs would contain an
embedded subform (most times a continuous form) to collect ongoing data.
Again where applicable each tab would have it's own set of print buttons,
eg. <Print History>, <Print Graph> etc, etc.  It became a no brainer "one
stop shopping" for the client. They loved it everything was there in their
face, no second guessing as what to do next. It was easy to use because it
was intuitive.

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.
