That did the trick -- Bad spelling will get you every
time. Good thing I'm not a doctor!

Thanks!

The visible property does indeed make the control
visible/invisible. It has
no effect on the text. Not sure what you could be doing
wrong as it's very
straightforward. Setting the property from the
properties menu should do
the trick. If you're doing it via code perhaps you are
mis-spelling the
property (I noticed your spelling of visible) however
that should generate
an error.

Can you hide a textbox on a userform?

I tried playing with the visable property... but I think
that is talking about the text within the textbox.

any ideas?
