Elegant solution needed- moving between pages on a form

I have a form that prompts users to go through multiple steps,
entering information and selecting control boxes along the way. Once
the user is done filling in the first part of the form, I would like
them to chose 'next' to go to the next page.

I tried setting up 'page breaks', removing the scroll bars, 'gotopage
', and using the' tabStop= false' command, but users can still
accidentally hit the 'page up' and 'page down' buttons to jump between
pages without using the buttons I set up.

Is there a way to completely prevent users from going between pages
without using my buttons? I could set up separate forms and close one
and open the next, but that seems like a clumsy solution.

Any suggestions?
 
Take a look at the tab control. You can set it up to work a lot like a
"wizard" by hiding the tabs and using your own <Next> and <Back> command
buttons.
