Huh??

Again, the help text says "Properties and methods designated as Hidden
can be accessed only by other members in the class definition"

The form is a class definition, and the button is a member of it. Accorordingly,
the button should be able to access anything on the form, regardless of the
visibility of the PEM on the form.







>The button is not a form class (it is an instance of a button class), so it can't see the hidden method. Only the instance of the form class can see it.
