I am enabling/making visible certain fields on a form dependant on what is input in the first field on the form. This works fine on a single form but ideally I want it to work on a continuous form and be specific to each record. At present, when I enter a value on a new record it takes the criteria and applies it to all records in the continuous form. Is what I am trying to do possible please
 
on which event are you placing your code to enable/disable controls ?
 
On a continuous form, I think the best bet is to use conditional formatting from the format menu. It will provide to enable/disable, but not alter visible state.

Programatic approaches are difficult, cause what you see in a continuous form is really just one set of controls, where the rows show instances of the same control. Toggling a control property programaticly, will alter all instances of it.

Edit: Providing 2000 versions or above.
