I use A2K

I would like to create a "Flash Card" program

It would use a tbl or qry of words/definitions, say, for Latin vocab

I envision a frm with a cmd btn that said "Flip"

When "flipped" the English definition would show

And so on, but what intrigues me is this: how would I go about having my
prog RANDOMLY select words and NOT just work its way down a list of
vocabulary--and NOT "reuse" a word/term that had been used that section--a
cmd btn "reset" would "clear" things so I could start fresh with my list

I guess the essence of my qt is how can randomize the contents of a two
column tbl

Thank you...

I' guessing that the two columns are LatinWord and
EnglishWord. You might add a third column to the table,
WordNumber, an autonumber.

In your query, add a calculated field, Expr1: Rnd([WordID])
and sort on Expr1.

Words wouldn't get reused because the user is just going
down the list until he or she hits the reset button.
