==================
I've created a survey where I have an 6 questions and 1 additional question which is hidden. I am passing the value for the hidden question via the URL prefill option. i.e. ?Q1=TEST
However when someone receives the survey, it states the total number of questions (at the bottom of thw welcoming text), which includes the hidden question in the count. Therefore one too many questions and this can be quite confusing on such a short question set where the recipient thinks one must be missing!
Is it possibly to either not include the hidden question count iso that:  "There are 7 questions in this survey", appears as "There are 6 questions in this survey" or to suppress this statement all together?

Many thanks for any help in advance.

Tammo, thank you very much. I thought that I had been through every possibly option, obviously not with both eyes open!

Many thanks and a "Happy New Year" to you.
