Hello,

I have a textfield where the backgraound color is white and the font
color is white as well.

The field gets a num,ber via a script. When one fills out the form,
the textfield can not be seen. Perfect!! But when the form is printed
out, the number within the textfield becomes visible and is printed
out.

What do I have to do so that the textfield will not show up in the
print out?

Thanks for any help.

Robert

You do not need to add a field to the view in a form to be able to use it. If
you are just using the field as a "helper field" remove it from the view in
the form, but leave it in your main data source. You can access it through
code and when you print out the form it does not show up, because it is not
physically on the view of the form.

An alternate way to handle this is to create a "Print View" that leaves this
field out of the view, but is only called when the form is sent to a printer.
