Visible isn't a design time property. From Access' help: You can set this property by using the object's property sheet (for sections and all controls except page breaks), a macro, or Visual Basic. For forms, reports, and data access pages, you must set this property by using a macro or Visual Basic. Plus... see my explanation of LWS functionality. I can't set it at design time even if I wanted to. If a user just dbl-clicks to open a form I have no opportunity to run a macro. Thus I am left with Visual Basic to perform this magic. John W.
