Hiding Controls

[Guest]

I have a subform within a main form that is setup where each record of the
subform appears as row in the form view (I think this is called a continuous
form). Well, depending on what appears in the respective textbox of the
"row" I'd like to have another control be hidden. I was wondering if this
was possible, and if it is, I'd like to know the best coding for it as well
as the best event. Thanks in advance.

No, that's not really possible. There may be a hokey
arrangement that can make the textbox look like the
background, but it's a messy thing to do.

Far better is to use Conditional Formatting (Format menu) to
disable the text box.
