AHa you are online. Yes I certainly tried it just to be sure. I placed a button on the form, added code to the Mouse Enter & Leave ebvents.

Then I added an Image object and set its picture property to a JPG. I then moved this image OVER the button to completely cover it. Now all I can see is the JPG. I run the form. Nothing. Nada. I set event tracking on to trace events, but only the Events for the Image object get activated. The button being UNDER the image object never gets any events.

Please explain how you did it.
