>>I have created a form as a class. The form includes menus (command buttons in containers) and a grid all used for searching for the desired record. When I run a form drived from this class I have an option (command button) to make visible and expand the grid and allow the user to select the desire record. The problem is that although everything works as designed, the lables and text boxes under the grid show through. The grid has focus and I can scroll it up and down. I tried the zorder property but it is not avalable. Any ideas?

The zorder is not avalable for lables or text boxes. I'm not sure why. Note that the labels and check boxes were added on the new form. Is there any property that would prevent me from changing the zorder or is that just whe way it works???
