Hi DrBob,

You can try the colhide X-Function. For example:

colhide irng:=[book1]1!col(c) operation:=0;  // hide column C, 0=hide, 1=show

You can also use the width property, that will work faster than Xfunction:

range rCol=2;
rCol.width=0;

Thank you for the suggestions.

Couturier, slight bug-- I had to change the range command to "range rCol=col(2);" to get it working. Your suggestion was slightly faster and it got me to think of a simpler approach. Your two commands could be replaced by one line: "wks.col2.width=0;". However, I will keep your suggestion in mind if I want to use column labels instead of column numbers.

Colhide looks to be a good X-function to keep in mind if I want to restore columns to their original width. Note to OriginLab: I couldn't find colhide in the help files.

Thanks again,
DrBob
