I felt I owed this forum an answer. It was a tough go and in the end it turned out to be simple. The control states in the report don't return to their default initial setting on each report in the batch. So, because I am messing the the visibillity, as soon as I expose something it remains exposed for the entire run. The simple fix was to set all the controls invisible at the outset of the form event code:
Dim ctlCurr As Control Dim booCondition As Boolean For Each ctlCurr In Me.Controls If ctlCurr.Tag = "Group1" Then ctlCurr.Visible = booCondition End If Next ctlCurr
It also goes back to an earlier post about tags. In this use of tag I just use it to tag all the controls and set the visibility in one go.
Thank you for any interest in helping me. June - this is the real issue.
