Objects are instantiated in the order that they are placed in a container/form. I'm pretty sure the only way to control it is to remove them and put them back in the order you want. You could cut and paste to another dummy form...

But I like this way better....in the init events for the objects requiring control, use something like...

PARAMETERS lCalledByForm

IF lCalledByForm
. {place init Code here}
ENDIF

RETURN lCalledByForm

In the Form.Init use something like

THISFORM.Object1.Init(.T.)
THISFORM.Object2.Init(.T.)
THISFORM.Object3.Init(.T.)

That way you control the initialization of each object from the init of the form

HTH
