>Unfortunately, these web forms are user entry interfaces for dynamic reports. Every control is absolutely necessary for the report to have the parameters needed for the VFP report to run. Since the user base for the web version is Upper management with the emphasis on "upper", they are expecting to see the same screen when they use the reports in their browser. This means the interaction between client side and server side on this particular app is, putting it mildly, complex. Anyway, it does appear to be the way IE handles layering that is at issue here. I wonder though, since IE is MS and .net is MS, why wasn't this addressed?

Good morning Eric;

An excellent question and one I also have! Perhaps we should ask "Upper management" - at Microsoft that is! :)
