Mornin' All,

I have a Series of 20 "pages" that use the same window and Dialog.. Each 
"Page" is about an early Explorer of America .. Each "Page" has a special 
Btn to click that will show a Map of his Exploration

The Map "page" has a Btn, that, when clicked, will return to the page of 
Text.. 

So that gives me 2 btns to every "page" .. and Requires that all btns 
must be closed when a "Page" opens and only the relevant btn opened .. 
The far below FN does that .. No problem .. BUT .. its 43 lines .. So I 
want to shorten it with a consolidation

I have tried to use a LONG IF

LONG IF btnID% => 11 AND btnID% <= 30 OR btnID% => 51 AND btnID% <= 70
   BUTTON CLOSE btnID%
END IF

It don't work

I've tried a SELECT/CASE Structure with

SELECT btnID%
   CASE 11,12,13,14,15, and on
END SELECT
BUTTON CLOSE btnID%

It don't work .. Dumb Dumb JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND a variable .. 

Expletives regarding his mentality and Threatening his life expectancy 
are fruitless 

He wants the "Real Thing" .. Spelled out in the LONG WAY below .. 

Any help would sure put me beholden
