Outlook forms have a different syntax for controls. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/propsyntax.htm#unbound.

thxs for your help Sue. I'm just not there yet.

now i have this:
Sub Item_Open()
Set myinspector = Item.GetInspector
Set myPage1 = myInspector.ModifiedFormPages("Message")
Set check = myPage1.Controls("chkNeedCheck")
If check.value = 1 Then check.visible = 0
End Sub

so when the forms opens it checks if the value of checkbox chkNeedCheck
is checked, if it is it should be invisible. when it is not checked,
you can still check and uncheck it until you open it again or send it
to someone else, he want see it anymore...

but it's still not working, when i open it checked if stays visible...

anyone who has an idea?

Did you publish the form? Code doesn't run on unpublished forms.
