how to set textbox to NOT visible in VBA 1

[amcodah]

Me!TypeKommentar.Visible = False

Why doesn't this work? Anyone else got any ideas?
Thanks,

Just out of curiosity why can't you just assign it directly like:

TypeKommentar.Visible = False

in ure code module type me. this will give u a list of all controls etc within ure forms report etc.

scroll down to find the control ure after. then type . again and this will give u a list of all activities which can be done of that control. Scroll and find visible. then type = false

me.controlname.visible = false

Ah, thanks drewduncan!. For some reason my help file showed "Me!controlname.visible = false".

Bill, I think "Me.controlname.visible = false" is faster than "controlname.visible = false", but both methods work yes.

Oh well, I discovered that my textbox doesn't have the option of choosing "Visible". Just "Value" which means I probally can't hide it?

You might be surprised
type in Me!controlname.visible = false
in the oncurrent event and see what happens

Hope this helps
