In Northwind sample, the main switchboard's right frame surrounding the four
command buttons (cat, sup,prod, orders) is under the command buttons.

If you click the frame and change the fill / back color you can still see
the command buttons. If I try to do this with another frame (or even a copy
of this frame) the buttons disappear when on the frame. It's like the option
where you can go to front or back with object. I can't find where I can make
the setting.

Thanks.

Box7 on the Switchboard form of Northwind has its Back Style property set to
Transparent.

There is also a Send To Back option on the Format menu.

In design mode with the frame selected, pull down the
Format Menu and choose Bring to Front or Send to Back.
Also, if you set the Back Style property of the frame to
Transparent, everything in back of it will be visible.

I still don't get it. If I take box7 and change fill / back color to yellow,
command buttons sit on top of the color. If I copy the rectangle (box7) and
paste elsewhere on the form, any of the same command buttons won't show up
on the new rectangle.
I also didn't see a Send to Back Option. (I am on Access 2000).
Thanks much.
