Hi Sergey and Cetin,

Thanks for your warning about relying on instantiation order. This is why I have to do it: I am building a control which will be placed on various forms. The control contains a grid whose control source is a local view that requires parameters to be set which must be done in code. I must set the parameters and open the local view before the grid instantiates. To do this, I am placing another object (let's call it a loader object) on the control whose Init method will open the local view. Therefore, this loader object must be instantiated before the grid. I can't think of any other way to do it. Any ideas?

Sergey, I see the method ZOrder. I don't understand how I call it to set the instantiation order of objects within a container, can you explain?

Thanks, Chaim
