Default Dynamic menus and forms

Hi, I'm not sure what kind of title to put on this post...

I'm getting back into VB programming after many years away working in another language. I last worked in VB 6.

I've got an opportunity to write a new application and want to use VB 2010.

The application will be made up of several forms. I would like the application's menu to be dynamic - when the app starts it would read an XML file or SQL table to build the menu of available options for that user. When a new form is created, I would like to be able to send that new form to the user and update the XML file or SQL table so that the menu shows the new option. If I make a change to a form, I would send just that form (in dll format or exe).

Is this approach doable in VB 2010?

Thanks,
Clay
