My take was always that the ones that are not visible are "undocumented" - perhaps lingering bugs make their usage a potential maintenance issue. John W.

Reports have several properties not shown in intellisense. Visible is one. I use it all the time though. There are several I use not shown, but work perfectly. I can't give you a solution but I can ensure you that you aren't nuts. If the condition to check is on the main form I reference the subform using me.subreportname.controlname.property = whatever Does anyone have an explanation for the lack of properties showing in intellisense? Is it corrected in versions after 2000?

Andy, I did try that. It gave me an error when ran. It also would not show me visible or any of the other items you would normally see for a textbox.

Bobby Intellisense doesn't show FontBold but it's still there. Just put Me!YourControl.FontBold=True in the subreport and it'll work fine. -- Andy Lacey http://www.minstersystems.co.uk --------- Original Message -------- From: Access Developers discussion and problem solving <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> Subject: [AccessD] Control reference question.
