Hide Unhide forms

[genxiii]

hey guys, i need some help on hiding and unhiding a form.

i created a macro and i selected the "Select Object" Action and selected a form called Login. Next i selected the action "RunCommand" and selected the command "Window Hide". That works fine to hide the window but i have trouble unhiding it. I do the same to unhide it except i pick command "Window Unhide." When i run that macro it halts. Any idea what the problem is and how to fix it? My guess is that i can't select an object that is hidden? Any help would be much appreciated. thanks guys

Change your macro for the Unhide process to an OpenForm selecting the correct form name and setting the window mode to Normal. This will just unhide the already opened form for you. It will not open a seperate copy as you might think. You see only one copy of the form may be opened at a time.

Post back with any questions.
