Hi guys! 

 

I am currently building an app to learn some German Vocabulary. Basically, my app is linked to an excel with all my vocabulary, where each word has an ID, as with a database. To create a quiz, I need five random ID for five random words. I do it using five label boxes and the following code: 

First(Shuffle (Verbes.ID)).ID
However, when my first set of 5 questions is over, I do not know how to "refresh" those five label boxes without closing and opening again the app. Can someone please help me?

 

Thank you in advance!

    for the button that gets the next set of questions add formulas that set 5 different variables to random numbers.  Something like this:

    Set(var1,Rand()*100);Set(var2,Rand()*100);Set(var3,Rand()*100);Set(var4,Rand()*100);Set(var5,Rand()*100)

    Use the values in the variables for the IDs for each question.  Each time you press the button you will get 5 new random numbers.
