Control Layer Order on Access/VB Forms

Layers on Access97 Forms

Not a critical question this, but as I am working on this at the moment….

When you place intrinsic controls (such as text box, label etc) on a Form in Access97 (and VB5/6 I guess), along with ActiveX controls (I am using Calander Control 8.0 at the moment), it seems that the ActiveX control cannot be layered behind a standard control such as a command button.

Do ActiveX controls always take presidence over other controls when layering controls one on top of another?

(an example of what I’m trying to do is to place a command button alongside the month and year selectors of the Calendar Control.)

And does this occur in VB5/6?

Thanks

Did you try 'bring to front'?

[Gaffer]

Sorry, yeah, I tried that (moving the ActiveX control back, and the cmd button to front). It seems lik the Calendar control is dominant over everything else. I also remember this happening with the Page tab Control...

It looks like it's just one of those things...
