I'm not sure I follow what you're saying. Sounds like you're thinking of the form as spanning several frames. This is not the case. Each frame is a separate document with its own HTML, and a form only exists within a single frame. The code you execute in TargetOnLoad has no idea what the source frame name or location is (unless you tell it). Assuming your top frame is named "_first", you could say:
window.parent.frames("_first").document.forms("buttonform").showvars.style.visibility = "hidden";
or something like that.

TargetOnloadHTML is an onclick action of a "button" in the top most frame, where, incidentally, the button I hope to hide also resides.

So I think you are correct - my reference for the "showvars" object (button) in the function is not "enough"!:(

>>Window, in that scope is the target frame (_Launch), not the frame with the form and button. This there is no Window.document.forms("buttonform"). You would need to revise this code to refer back to the source frame, but that seems pretty awkward. Instead, maybe revise TargetOnLoadHTML() to hide the button *before* setting the launch location.
