Phillip-

Thanks! This is great. I didn't have the properties window up and visible.
So that was my problem Thanks again.

Hi Craig.

Sorry that option seems to be new to Excel 2003.
To utilise this facility you will need to go into the Visual Basic editor.

1. Press [Alt] [F11] this will open the Visual Basic Editor.
2. There are a number of windows in this view.
The window to the upper left window is titled Project - VBA Project.
The current sheet is highlighted.
Select the name of the sheet you want to hide or "unhide"
The window to the lower left is titled "Properties - name of sheet
highlighted"
3 In the lower left window there are two tabs. They present the same
details but in a slightly different order.
On either tab select on the "Visible" property. A down arrow selector
will appear, click on it. Three options are available select the
approprate
one.

The second option ExcelSheetHidden can be accessed from menus - see my
first
reply below.

I had never heard of being able to have Very Hidden option. I tried to
do
this to a tab, but do not see when the option is to change the visible
status. Is there a code you must enter to get this function to work?

Also, by making a tab "Very Hidden" will the tab name even show up when
you
go to the Format/Sheet/Unhide option?

Thanks

Two ways.

1. Select the worksheet then use the menu options Format, Worksheet,
Hide.
This can be reversed by Format, Worksheet, Unhide and then selecting
the
worksheet from the dialogue box.
2. In Excel 2003 right click on the TAB, select "View Code". The
visual
basic editor VBE showing the properties for the worksheet opens. Look
for
the characteristic "Visible" Change the selection to 0 (Hidden) or 2
(Excel
Very Hidden)
NB if you use the latter you will need to go back into VBE to "unhide"
it.
