Access 2007 - hide/unhide forms
I feel silly even asking the question, but how do you hide and unhide forms from the user interface in Access 2007?
In Access 2003 and earlier, when I had an open form I could go to Window --> Hide. Or to unhide a form, Window --> Unhide... I cannot find an equivalent command anywhere in the Access 2007 interface. I can still hide forms through code and macros, but it was nice to be able to hide and unhide forms easily during design. Maybe it is now an option buried somewhere that is turned off by default?

That just hides/unhides the object listing in the navigation pane. I am talking about hiding/unhiding the form itself. For example, DoCmd.OpenForm "Global", , , , , acHidden will open the Global form but hide it from the user. If I were using a value on this hidden form in my code, I might want to open the form briefly to view the value I am using. I don't see a straight-forward way to do that through the new user interface.
