Vista - Need some advice

I am devloping my first WPF application. I am taking a vb6 app that I had
created many years ago and rewriting in C# using WPF, WCF and WF. It is a
data entry entry app that has approximately 10 forms. I would like to get
away from the standard menu and toolbar app. Basically the program works
along the lines of finding a record and editing it or adding a new record.
Any suggestions from those who have developed a data entry app with WPF?

Hi Bill,

a completely different approach would we using the Frame control and
displaying several pages in it. The look and feel of such an application
would be more like a web application with the user clicking links to
navigate to different pages.
Vista makes heavy use of this approach.

While adventuring away from the standard Menus and Toolbars UI may
bring a fresh look to your application. Sometimes familiarity brings a
significant boost to user experience.

If it is a customer service application, one thing that many CSRs are
familiar with is a dashboard/composite application. If you could find
some logical grouping for those 10 forms while also taking advantage
of their inter-relationships, that would be a huge boon for taking
your application to the next step.

This is a scenario that WPF will definitely enable.
