We are running Intersystems Cache 2013.1 and and use Accuterm GUI.  The GUI forms/programs were developed under 2K2 and continue to work fine there.  However, under Accuterm 7 we run into an error in the case of making invisible forms visible.   The error received:

GUIERRORS = 2C>2C=6C=FORM.MAINT.GUI*FRM3C=4C=5021C=Cannot activate hidden or dis
abled object (disabled/hidden ancestor may cause this error) (command=Method, ID
=FORM.MAINT.GUI*FRM3, method=Activate)

I have updated to Accuterm 7.3 and also updated the host programs, but this has not changed the error.  Saving the form under version 7 also seems to have no effect.

Any ideas?  Thanks.

OK.  Here's a simpler question:  what does that error message mean/indicate?

Well, if I read the error message correctly ...

You are trying to activate FRM3 in the FORM.MAINT.GUI application, and it is either disabled or hidden. (Therefore, activation fails).

Thanks!

That definitely pointed me in the right direction.  In 2k2, our ACTIVATE.FORM subroutine worked with ATIGUIACTIVATE prior to the ATGUISHOW.  Reversing the order allowed this to work in Accuterm 7.
