>How does VFP5 determine the order of object creation when a form is called? I'm trying to get certain control to Initialize() before another. I though setting tab order will do it but I guess it doesn't. TIA.


I have similar situations in the past. Jim's responses are interesting an I will study them for future referance. I was pointed as you were to the bring to front button as a "not too good" work around. I have been seting up my pages that way ever since. It has worked well for me all though it is not the preferred method. I just start at the top of the form and work my way down and repeat the process every time an object is added to the middle. I couldn't believe it actually changed the order of the records in the scx file and find the ZOrder explination much more plausable.
