Invisible Textbox fails to save to Access DB

[Benj Nunez]

Hello experts,

Is it possible to save records to a database even though the Textbox
where
the data came from is NOT VISIBLE in the form? I did this and now it
seems
that I can't save a record.

I have 10 fields already filled up with default values (e.g. '1'). I
want to
hide it so that I could simply make it visible again should the need
arises.


Thank you in advance.


Cheers,


Benj

The big question is; Why have a user-interface element that you have no
intention of using?

Are you doing winforms for webforms development?

in webforms, you want to use a

<input id="hidTitleID" type="hidden" name="hidTitleId" runat="server">

//code behind
string titleID = this.hidTitleID.value;

...

in winforms, then you should be able to find the value ..even on a hidden
textbox.
however, I wouldn't do this, I would just keep a private _memberVariable to
hold the value.

...

Good luck.
