SetHiddenAttribute Method

       

The SetHiddenAttribute method sets the hidden attribute of an Access object.

expression.SetHiddenAttribute(ObjectType, ObjectName, fHidden)

expression   Required. An expression that returns an Application object.

ObjectType  Required AcObjectType. You must enter a constant for the ObjectType argument; acDefault is not a valid entry.

AcObjectType can be one of these AcObjectType constants.
acDataAccessPage
acDefault
acDiagram
acForm
acFunction
acMacro
acModule
acQuery
acReport
acServerView
acStoredProcedure
acTable

ObjectName  Required String. A string expression identifying the name of the Access object.

fHidden  Required Boolean. True sets the hidden attribute and False clears the attribute.

Remarks

Together with the GetHiddenAttribute method, the SetHiddenAttribute method provides a means of changing an object's visibility from Visual Basic code. With these methods, you can set or read the Hidden property available in the object's Properties dialog box.

To set this option by using the SetHiddenAttribute method, specify True or False for the setting, as in the following example.

Application.SetHiddenAttribute acTable,"Customers", True
