Open the form called frmOsama - it should look like this:

Access VBA Macros exercise - Attaching code to forms (image 1)

Your aim is to make the top two buttons do what they say they will.

Attach code to the Hide and Display buttons so that they work (each button should change the Visible property of the image, and also the Enabled property of each button).

You will come across a problem, which is that you can not hide a control that has the focus (ie which is the active command button).  If you see this error message, add a line to your code to apply the SetFocus method to the close button first, to make sure that this is the active control before continuing with the rest of your code.

Test that your buttons work, then save and close the form.
