    Child form's column hiding

    Hello there!
    I have a form with subform. I want to hide some columns when the parent form loads. Also I want to place a button on parent form which will un-hide the columns.
    Is it Possible??

    I tried in VB like
    Me.subform.form......
    but after this it is not showing other options of fields.



    If it is possible so please help coz I am not good in VB.

    Subform is in datasheet view? Try:

    Me.subformContainerName.Form.fieldName.ColumnHidde n = False

    That's true, it won't, just have to know the fieldname and property you want to reference and type out remainder of the expression.
