Hiding a computed subform

I’m looking to hide a computed subform from notes. Is this possible? Hide/When doesn’t seem to be an option.

You need to set the hide/when on the contents of the subform itself. Or, change your computation so it checks the client type and if it equals Notes, then set the value of the subform to blank. Then, no subform will display.

I thought I had done that (hide/when the contents of the subform itself). The subform is a table, and I hid each row, but it’s still showing up in client. Can you elaborate on the second part of your answer? It sounds like a plan, but I’m not sure how to go about executing it.

TIA

What’s your Hide/When formula on the contents of the table? I do this all the time - with fields that should be hidden (readers, authors, etc.). Select the entire table, go to Text Properties - and check the very first option - Hide Paragraph from Notes R4.6 or later.

With the second option, your computed subform formula would start with checking the client type:

@If(@ClientType= “Notes”;“”;The rest of your formula)

I got it to work, by highliting the whole table,and using the hide/when, thanks.
