title: crm 2011 switch between multiple forms within single entity
body: <p>We currently design our solutions using a single form per entity. We have a current set of requirements where the 10 or so entities are similar in terms of functionality and data collection. Ideally we would like to have entity with 10 or so forms and dependent on a lookup value display the correct form on the click of a custom button.</p>
  
  <p>I have previously worked with a supplier who implemented something like this displaying the correct form using the GUID (using the <em>formid</em> querystring parameter) on the load event using JavaScript. Although this worked 95% of the time, depending on the client machine it occassionally did not load the correct form due to timing issues i.e. the code had not properly executed by the time the form loaded.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a best practice for using this kind of technique?</p>
  
  <p>I guess my other options are
  1) multiple entities
  2) one form with tabs/sections that i show/hide on the form load</p>
  
  <p>I am leaning towards implementing option 2)</p>
