Help for a non-code newbie!

[Sarah]

Hi Lars,

Other people have suggested various loops to try, but you might also 
find that smaller groups may work for you. If you have 8 fields & 8 
buttons, so they all need to be shown individually at some time? If 
not, perhaps you could group the objects that always show or hide 
together and then use a loop to show/hide the others.

One other tip: if you put "lock screen" before a show or hide loop, the 
speed will be enormously increased.

Cheers,
Sarah
