Steve,

If the button has focus it will be above everything else.

What is the exact code in your Click()?

I put an edt on a form, and a cmd below the edt.

*The cmd.Click():
thisform.edit1.SetFocus()

*the edt.GotFocus:
with this
   .Width = .Width * 2
   .Height = .Height * 2
endwith

*the LostFocus:
with this
   .Width = .Width / 2
   .Height = .Height / 2
endwith

click the button, the edt grows and covers the button until I hit tab.
