Objects - unhiding themselves

[scottian]

Ive set the property of a module to 'Hidden', but it keeps 'unhiding' itself.
Does anyone know why?

Also, is it possible to set the default property of new objects to hidden?

How about:

[tt]SetHiddenAttribute acForm, "frmForm", True
Debug.Print GetHiddenAttribute(acForm, "frmForm")[/tt]

As to the first question: goto Tools > Options > View
You'll find "Hidden Objects" checked, simply uncheck it. As far as I can tell, this is the only way to make an object yu've hidden visible again. Don't know about question number two!

not sure if im being clear about this.

Ive created a form and set its 'Attributes Hidden' to 'yes'.
Ive gone into the database 'Options' and unchecked the @Show Hidden Objects'. So now i cant see the form. Ok. after a while the form becomes visible again. The database is on a personal drive, so no one else has access to it. Im totally stumped, ive never experienced this before.

Your computer isn't named Hal, is it?

after a while the form becomes visible again

After an hour, a day, a millenia? Not making fun, but we need a little more info. Does it appear after opening the database and working with other forms? Does it only appear after opening the db several times? You might check to see if "Show hidden objects" is still unchecked.

Its after a few hours, im thinking that i may be doing something to cause this. Im still working on the database. But it doesnt appear to be constant, i.e. the same form unhiding, also its not just the forms its all the objects. I was just hoping that someone would know why this is.
