How do I create a button to switch views?

I have a form with several views - Data Entry, start up, etc. I want to create several buttons (A, B, C, D) in the "Start Up" view that, when selected, will take the user to the Data Entry view. In the data entry view, I have several fields in sections. I also want some of these sections hidden depending on which button is chosen in the Start up view. I looked in the InfoPath help - not helpful. I know how to hide/show sections within a specific view based on a user's action or data in a field.

Can I do this using standard tools in InfoPath 2007, or do I need to create custom code to do it?

Thanks,

Jim
