Hi Brenda,

If you want the form invisible, then I'm making the reach that you don't care what it looks like. If you use createobject(), the default behavior is for it to be invisible, but all of its properties and methods are available. Then you could show it if you wanted. Ref. the following code snippet.

Public SomeForm
SomeForm = CreateObject("aformclass")

Now you can fire its methods or reference its properties/methods by

SomeForm.propertyname
SomeForm.methodname()

Although, it occurs to me that if this is what you are after, why not use an object based on the custom class ??? What functionality are you after that is pointing you toward a form ???

Regards,
