What do you mean by "choose your own adventure"? Are you referring to wizard-type forms?

If you want to go back, then I guess the first question is how are you going forward?

I understand now, what i'm doing is making a command buttons with labels and when you click a command button the next set of buttons and labels shows up with the visible thing, all I have to do is make seperate command buttons that kind of undo the last command by making the last buttons invisible and by makeing the prevous buttons visible.

You can store the previous state in many ways, depending on how many levels of undo that you want. For a few levels you may consider Form level or Global variables as appropriate. You could also use the registry (SaveSettings and GetSettings). If you're looking at many levels of undo, or lots of controls you may want to look at using an MDB or XML file solution

what I do is simply call the first form to be visible and unload the second form all in the same click..
