reveal sequential records for each time the button is pushed

I have a continous form where I want to be able to reveal each record (of the
same field) at a time with a push button.

Think of it like a 'guess the next answer quiz'. The records are on a
subform that has a different number of records (answers) for each master form
record.

the field's name is

Run_Waypoint

at the moment, when i hit the button all records are revealed, I need a way
of havning a single button that reveals the next record each time it is
pushed.

can this be done?

The form layout is simple:

Apples
Pears
Oranges
and so on...

There is no way to control visibility or other visual appearance 'by record'
for controls as they are all seen as the same control.

Perhaps you could try doing it with non-continuous forms and your button
could say "Next Question" or something... this way you can control the
question and the answer individually.

thanks for the reponse van, unfortunately i need the form to be continous as
the reveal answers are relative to each other.

Now if only their was some way of getting a single form to behave like a
continous form. just for the record, the 'questions' don't actually appear
(they exist in the users head), as it's more a memory test type quiz.

Hi again

The only way I can think for you to do this is to set up a form which looks
like a continuous form, and just use solid coding to control the answers to
the questions. Use the dlookup function if you're reading from a table,
otherwise, just code each response box with the correct answer etc

Van,

How would I set up a form to look continous?, I don't mind using solid
coding (I have some experience), but can you give a point as to what kind of
code, and more specifically how do I reference the one field in question
'Run_Waypoint' which will have different data for each entry, in other words
how can I ensure that when I hit the reveal button, it reveals the correct
field data?
