Hi,
I am modifying an existing form and wanted to do this with less number of modifications.
The existing form has one checkbox item ( displayed and attached to database)..and its not in use ( was created for some enhanccemnet that never implemented but code is there)..and in the form at several places its mentioned/calcualted based on Updatabale/Enable/Queryable/Insert..all properties.
SInce I want to use the same position of this check box so ..i simply detached the canvas from this item..it compiles fine but when login into applcitaion it gives al those errors like..FRM--item not updateable.etc etc..
Is there any property to just hide an item inpspite having related codes in the form ?
Thanks

How can it not be used and yet be referenced in code?
0/0 may or may not work depending on what the code that references the item is actually doing.
Personally I'd remove it properly. Lazy hacks invariably lead to bugs and maintenance issues.
