No.
I may be missing something. I often am.
Say you have a Db tied to a D natural (presumably by mistake).
Forcing the accidental (in this case, a natural sign) to appear to
appear on the D won't fix the tie problem. It may help you
*diagnose* the problem, but to fix it, you have to replace the D
nat. with a Db.
The problem has noting to do with whether accidentals are hidden or
showing. The problem Dennis was having was that he had tried to tie
two different pitches. But he didn't realize that the second pitch
was different from the first, because there is no obvious way in
Finale to spot the difference between a Db tied across the bar to a
D natural, and a Db tied across the bar to a Db.
It was also across a system break. You CAN tie two different notes
across a barline (or not!) if both bars are in the same system.
And repeating an accidental on a note tied across a system break is
proper practice for some editors.
