    Hide/UnHide forms

    Hi All,



    I have a already created form named "Main Collection". This form is the initial form which gets opened when i open the database file. It has got 4 buttons and would like to add another button. For that i'm opening the form in design view. The design view is getting opened with form name as "Collection" (which is different from the form "Main Collection"). So, Whatever changes which i'm making is getting reflected on "Collection" form. But i want to add changes to "Main Collection" form means how can i unhide a hidden form. Can any one of you please let me know on how to do this. Thanks a lot.

    Change the properties of the form you want to hide or unhide on a permenant basis by changing the selection to visible to yes or no depending on which you desire for that particular one.
