For forms and reports, the Section property is an array of all existing sections in the form specified by the section number. For example, Section(0) refers to a form's detail section, and Section(3) refers to a form's page header section.

You can also refer to a section by name. The following statements refer to the Detail0 section for the Customers form and are equivalent.

Forms!Customers.Section(acDetail).Visible
Forms!Customers.Section(0).Visible
Forms!Customers.Detail0.Visible

For forms and reports, you must combine the Section property with other properties that apply to form or report sections.

Example

The following example shows how to refer to the Visible property of the page header section of the Customers form.

Forms!Customers.Section(acPageHeader).Visible 
Forms!Customers.Section(3).Visible
