Hi.

You're referring to the subform as if it were a form.  It isn't.  When the
main form is open, the main form is a member of the Forms Collection and the
subform isn't -- because it's a control on the main form.  Determine the name
of the control, and you'll be able to manipulate the subform in code.  In the
main form's code module, try:

   Me!MyCtrlName.Visible = False

. . . where MyCtrlName is the name of the control displaying the subform.

HTH.
