I want to be able to show or hide columns in a datasheet (subform) depending on which checkboxes are checked on the main form. I found what looks like the answer I need on this site
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa217449(v=office.11).aspx
but can't make it work. There is supposed to be a sample database to download, but I think it's all rather old and no longer available as I think they were specifically for Access97 and I'm using Access 2002.
I'm not sure where I am supposed to put the Private Function ShowHideColumn(). I tried putting it in a module and also in the same page as the MainForm code, but when I click on the checkboxes I get a message saying "Microsoft Access can't find the macro "ShowHideColumn()'
I would also like to fix the column widths if that's possible because I want to put some totals underneath the columns, but on the Main Form. If people drag the columns around, then the totals will be meaningless.
