thanks to gary mohr and gerald gabrisch for their input!
1. Make sure each point has a unique ID number. Then run a select by attribute query: MOD( "Unique_ID",10) = 0
That selects all points with Unique_ID values divisible by 10 with a remainder of 0; every 10th point.

i have over 650,000 points in my shapefile, collected with gps. i do not need to visually show all these at the moment (creates too large of a pdf)..... i'm not that good w/ vb to query some out... but i was thinking that perhaps i could create a definition query of every 10th point... any suggestions how to do this? i know it must be easy...
