    It has something to do with the Forms and how they were created. If you add a new Form1
    to the project and
    replace BankHome with Form1 as the startup object and add some buttons that do the same as
    the BankHome, it works and .Hide is available.

    Yeah, I know. I think it is because the original VB did not have the .hide function and one of the service packs introduced it. The forms were created with the non-service pack version and new forms are created with the new functions all available. I just don't want to have to go back and re-create all of the forms in all of my projects that I am working on...

    Re: .hide function and VB6

    Actually, the service pack did not add the .hide function. I just tried on a computer where I did not yet install the service pack and it had the .hide function when I created a new form. Same problem still exists though. The .hide function is not working/available in my current projects, but when new forms are added it is there...

    That's why most people use Hungerian notation when naming variables and objects. For example call a form frmBankHome and a label lblBankHome and so on.

    Re: .hide function and VB6

    After being totally confused for some time I finally found the reason. Your main form is named BankHome but you have also named the label on this form to BankHome which confuses VB since the label doesn't have a Hide method. Simply give the label a different name and it works fine.
