This is so awesome. Previously I was hiding dbedits with a label on top, then setting it to invisible when needed to avoid catching a glimpse of the data.
Thanks RBTI.

If you have a form with a lot of objects, many of which need to be hidden at first, and you a) hate the flicker associated with this, and b) don't want to do the heavy lifting to make those objects dynamic, then this feature is for you. When you check Hide on Startup, the object will automatically be hidden when the form loads and you'll not have the associated flicker. You *must* then issue a PROPERTY ... VISIBLE 'TRUE' to see the object, and, if you subsequently want it hidden again, reverse that. Meanwhile, the form looks much nicer as it opens. Thank you, Razzak, for this window-dressing feature. I'm already putting it to good use. Emmitt Dove Manager, DairyPak Business Systems Evergreen Packaging, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] (203) 643-8022
