Looking for input/suggestions on how to handle the following requirement without duplicating code.
When a new entry is made there should be a wizard that walks the user through a five step process to create the item. Once the item exists, the user must be able to access each 'step' independently. The steps are somewhat complicated, and a page for each step already exists.
1) Can each Step in the Wizard be an existing web page? I don't see where that's possible, but it might be worth considering.
2) Can each step be a RadWindow that would load an existing web page?
3) An option would be to put everything in the Wizard and set Render Selected Step Only. Run the wizard normally for the wizard interface and then when they need access to a Step independently, load that step and hide the progress bar, navigation bar, and progress buttons. This seems possible but also seems like it would create a rather large and unwieldy aspx file.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

Straight to the points:
1)The steps or the wizard can't be web pages. If you want such functionality you may consider using RadTabStrip and MulitPage as for example it is done in this online demo.
2) RadWizardSteps are container and you can include controls so you can include RadWindow too.
3) It is not quite clear what you are trying to achieve in this question so please elaborate so we could be more helpful.
In such case you want to skip duplicating code you can use user controls as for example it is done in this online demo.
