I am facing the following issues with Multi step forms:
-I have a Calendar control in the first step which is mandatory, If I currently select a date and click next, for some reason I then click previous and come back to the page which has the calendar control, I need to click on the calendar control multiple times to select a date. Until a date is selected I am not able to say Next. Is there a way to handle this?
-Display a Calendar inline, I saw the solution as changing the head runat="server" but I have a master page which have macros in content pages which seems failing if I add runat server to the head. Is there a solution for this yet?
-I have a form with a multi step, I am in the second step and I navigated away from the page, to another unrelated page, when I comes back I am send back to the second step, Is there a cancel option for these pages so that everything will be cleared from cache or db and I will be always send to the first page when I click the link to that page.
- Retrieving values when there are duplicate column names even though they are in different field groups. I have a work hour selection drop downs for all week days(This is in general not related to just multi step).
I listed those as
Sunday - Field Group
Start Hour
End Hour
Tuesday - Field Group
Start Hour
End Hour
These are stored as Start Hour, Start Hour, End Hour, End Hour in the form display, I am not able to distinguish them forms and not knowing how to retrieve the values. Is there a way to retrieve the same?

When using the calender control I would recommend adding runat='"server" to your head. If you have macros that are failing you might want to look into replacing them with some inline razor.
You are correct about the retrieving values, contour assumes that each field will have an unique caption, any way you can change your captions to something unique?
Related to retrieving values, it will be great if there is any additional option in future for storing display values which will be displayed on the forms, even though the column names are unique. This will help in having some thing more meaningful for displaying to the end user. Since Contour allows a user to have column names repeated, if the backend user look into the form entries, he will get confused after seeing the values displayed side by side even though those were added to a different field group as mentioned Weekdays hour listing requirement in my first post.

Out of these:
I got a resolution for the following:

Hi Tim,
Thank you for your answers,
