How about using just one sheet but having its contents change as you
progress from step to step?  You could fill the sheet with a tabless
tabview, where each tab contains what you are now putting in its own
sheet.  Instead of closing the sheet, "OK" would switch to the next
tab.  The last tab's "OK" button would close the sheet.
