Hide a label from a form

DarkHorse · 2010-11-15

Hello, I'd like to know how can I hide a label from a form filtered by user.
Thanks in advance.

CurrForm.LabelName.VISIBLE(FALSE);

Thanks for reply, but for example, if I put in OnOpenForm:

IF USERID = 'USER' THEN
CurrForm.'Foreign Trade'.VISIBLE(FALSE);

It says to me that doesn't exist "Foreign Trade" variable ("Foreign Trade" it's the name's label). What's the problem, please?.
Thanks for help

Let's start with the bigger problem in that you are hard coding user ids. REALLY bad programming. Search the forum for something like "Hide fields for specific users".

As for the VISIBLE property, did you actually give a name to your label box? By default it will be something like <Control30>, not the variable / value it holds.

Thanks, well, the only way where I can find a name form the laben is on properties on "PageNames", on appears the name of the label.
If I want to hide the 'Foreign Trade' label, from Item form, how's the code?
Thanks.

"Foreign Trade" is not a label, but a PageName (or tab). And this cannot be made hidden at run-time.

Ups!, well, in that case there's not much to do.
Thanks everybody for help.
