Send to Back / Send to Front Wierdness

[Mike1sMike]

I have a two-tabbed form, for now the second tab is (supposed to be) empty. Two of the fields from the first tab are showing up on the second tab. If I move those two fields to the back, they go behind the first tab. If I force grab all fields and first tab and send to back, they will show on the first tab as they should but when I click on the second tab, they are there also; like they are in front of everything again. Baffling.

Hi. Sounds like those two controls are not attached to the tab control but to the form itself. If you want to associate those two controls to the first page on the tab control, select the two controls and cut them. Then, select the first page of the tab control and paste the cut controls to it.

You will know when you have properly activated a tab (page) because it goes black (at least for me). I point this out because it's the same for a frame (for option buttons). If not properly placed, an option value won't propagate to the frame.
