That's the way I had originally done it, and i got "Unknown identifier: 
hButton at line 24 in Form1.class." Originally the code in the book had 
Button1.Hide, which had generated the same error. So I knew that the 
main sub had button defined as hButton, so I had originally changed it 
to that and got the above message. I then got rid of that message when I 
changed it to what I had sent to the list. So now I'm totally confused. 
I thought that Button was a class object that had to be declared and 
referenced by someother name in the DIM statement.?
