Can forms in Access be hidden (as in VB) ?

All MS Access objects can be hidden, select the object and change it properties using the View:Properties menu.

There's a Hide method, and a corresponding Show method. Check the Access Help file, it has the details on these.

"You can use the Visible property to show or hide a form, report, form or report section, data access page, or control. This may be useful if you want to maintain access to information on a form without it being visible. For example, you could use the value of a control on a hidden form as the criteria for a query."

Taken directly from Access Help on the Visible Property.
