problem putting a hole into a thickened surface. Hole goes through part but not surface

Hello, a hole will not cut through the surface, only through the part itsself. The part is created as a thickened extruded surface (I was practicing some in-contect design). The same is true if I do a normal remove extrude. Why is that and how can I get the hole to cut through the surface ? Thanks for your help.

An extrude remove is a solid only feature. Best thing to do would be to just hide the surface. If you really need a hole in the surface you will have to use the Split command followed by Delete Face. Info on these commands can be found in the help.
