Suppose one has a form corresponding to a table
where the number of columns is too large to fit onto
one page of a form? What is the appropriate way to handle a multiple page situation?
Does one use stacked canvases, tab canvases, tab pages, or what?
How does one handle the navigation?

There are several ways to do this. One way is to use tabs. Another way I've done it was with stacked canvases. The key portion of the record was at the left side of the detail block and was on the main canvas, making it stationary. The rest of the information was put on a stacked canvas that was wider that the view, and it had a horizontal scrollbar. The user would move the scrollbar to see all of the data.
In another instance where the data that extended was a single long text field, I showed only a portion of it on my form, and would open an editor on doubleclick event, letting the user view the large block of test in the editor window.
