Form Layers

[way2bord]

In a form - How do I layer an object on top of a listbox? :banghead:

Move it there.

Move it there.

Tried. Listbox magically appears on top of every other object I throw out there, no matter how many times I click 'Arrange > Bring To Front'

I don’t know what type of object you are talking about but from memory subforms stay in front. Therefore, you should be able to place the object in a subform and move it in front of the list box.

Turns out it's significantly easier to move every object on the form out of the way than attempt to layer above those listboxes...

Subform falls under.

Well, memory fades but we can do it with a separate popup Form.

Access2003 demo attached.

There are other ways to control the apparent Z order of controls on a Form two of which are the last two entries on my SkyDrive in my signature. However, both of which are more complicated.
