Send/Bring to Front/Back works great. Thanks for the additional info.

>In addition to Craig and Paul's comments, I'll add:

>1) Using Send/Bring to Front/Back doesn't immediately show results in the property sheet, but you can refresh that by opening and closing it. Then you'll see the controls in their new order.

>2) I'd advise against relying on instantiation order, if possible. You're setting up dependencies between controls that can make your code harder to debug and harder to reuse.
