You need to define your fields in a subform within designer and give the subform some name to identify it. There is a presence attribute which sets the visibility of an object within the form. However this is only partially effective when you are trying to hide multiple objects. Currently setting Subform.presence = "invisible" will only hide text fields within the subform. It does not hide anything else or indeed hide nested subforms. <br /><br />What you need to do is to recurse into the subform and set each objects presence attribute (to be sure). The following example shows how this can be accomplished from the click event of a button. You could add the function to a script object<br /><br />if (MySubform.presence == "visible")<br />{<br /> displaySubformContents(MySubform, false);<br />} else {<br /> displaySubformContents(MySubform, true);<br />}<br /><br />function displaySubformContents(oSubform, bDisplay)<br />{<br /> var presenceSetting = (bDisplay ? "visible" : "invisible");<br /> for (var i=0; i<oSubform.nodes.length; i++)<br /> {<br /> var oObject = oSubform.nodes.item(i);<br /> if (oObject.className == "draw" || oObject.className == "field")<br /> {<br /> oObject.presence = presenceSetting;<br /> } else {<br /> if (oObject.className == "subform" || oObject.className == "exclGroup")<br /> {<br /> displaySubformContents(oObject, bDisplay);<br /> }<br /> }<br /> oSubform.presence = presenceSetting;<br />}
