>Gotcha, and yes, I would expect a bug or some video card/driver related problem. I haven't seen this particular problem but I appreciate the simple and straight-forward fix if it turns up. :-) But in Omar's case there may be more to it. He e-mailed me JPG images of his forms and it looks like to me he is using non-native ( fancy :-) ) containers to hold the data controls, so they may be contributing to his problem. We can see how he responds to our posts.

If he is using after market controls then I've no idea what the problem could be. I've seen in some rare cases here of PII systems with certain Matrox cards that when a container is made VISIBLE = .F. that the controls in the container are still visible. All the PIII's with the same cards had no trouble. ??? I guess we'll find out tomorrow what's happened.
