Why can't I make a control invisible in Datasheet view?

[Tony Williams]

I have a subform that is a datasheet. I want one of the controls not to be
visible. I've change the Visible property to No but it still shows in the
subform. How do I make it invisible. It is used as part of a calculated
control and I don't want it to be seen.Thanks
Tony

Tony,
Right click on the control in Datasheet View, and select Hide Column.

Thanks Al I didn't realise it was that easy!

To do it programmatically, you set the field's ColumnHidden property to True
(as opposed to setting its Visible property to False).

If you're using datasheet views, the following is an invaluable reference
