Just my $.02, but I *hate* waiting for sheets to unfurl, and any program that subjected me to a *series* of sheets would have to be *really* important to prevent me from trashing it.

There's gotta be a less user-hostile way of doing it.

I agree, it's by no means the best solution.

I'm still thinking about the best way to bundle those up to present to the user in a more friendly way.


How about using just one sheet but having its contents change as you progress from step to step? You could fill the sheet with a tabless tabview, where each tab contains what you are now putting in its own sheet. Instead of closing the sheet, "OK" would switch to the next tab. The last tab's "OK" button would close the sheet.
