need suggestion - form flow logic

[rjusa]

I've got a form, fillout info, go to next form...on the 3rd page I start to ask for a percent...afterwards there are pages 4,5 6 that also ask for percent. I've coded the "make sure total doesn't exceed 100%" in a parent child environment but I need to stay with the same window this time...do I name forms 3,4 5,6 and reference them this way...I'm confused because I know the values are retained so page 4 has access to page 3 but page 3 doesn't have a value from page 4 until it is opened and filled in...should I set the initial value on page 3 of the percent on page 4 to zero and then when its opened it replaces the zero...me thinks its easier to ask coding questions than logical approaches!

Thanks,
Ron
