What do you mean by 'fields'? Text entry boxes? The easiest way to hide a bunch of elements is to have them on the same layer which can then be closed/hidden with one Hide trigger.

I don't know how you set up your layers and triggers, but with the 'Hide other Slide Layers' option selected in a layer's properties, this layer would automatically 'close' any other layer when it is called. This way, only one layer is open at a time.

My bad. What I mean is I have 26 layers that are opening and closing off a button and I have to list
a ton of them to make sure they are all closed when I hit another button. I just wish there was a way
to "Close all layers" and not have to list all 26 each time. Any way to do that?
Thanks,

Here is some info on layers and their properties: http://community.articulate.com/tutorials/products/adding-and-editing-slide-layers.aspx
Perfect I figured that out last night and then I can use states to turn on and off things
rather than putting one object on each layer. The combination of layers (hide all other check box)
and states for the objects on the page triggered by which variables are set gets me where I need
to go. Thanks again for being so quick with responses. I'm starting to get this and the more
I get into it the better it gets. THANKS!
