Yes.
There are several, depending on what you want to do. You can make the
fill color the same color as the background. You can make the field 1
px x 1px. You can place the field in a portal with a relationship
that can be conditionally set.
What do you want to do?
G

i want the user not to see the field. thanks for the help.

The obvious way to do that is to simply not put the field on the Layout
at all. :o)

There are a few reasons why a field must be on a Layout (eg. using the
Copy or Paste script commands*), but otherwise it is not necessary to
have the fields on Layouts.


* In this case you might want to consider using Set Field instead
since that does not need the field on the current Layout.
