ACC: Controls Hidden Under Subforms and List or Combo Boxes (119136)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Access 2.0
- Microsoft Access for Windows 95 7.0
- Microsoft Access 97
This article was previously published under Q119136 Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.
SYMPTOMS
When you place a control (such as a command button or a text box) on top of
a subform control, the control is always hidden beneath the subform
control. This behavior occurs even if you click Bring To Front on the
Format menu for the control. This behavior also occurs when you place
controls on top of combo box and list box controls.
CAUSE
In Microsoft Access 2.0, 7.0 and 97, you cannot place non-windowed controls
on top of windowed controls. You can, however, place windowed controls
(subforms, combo boxes, and list boxes) on top of subform controls.
NOTE: In Microsoft Access 1.x, you can place controls on top of windowed
controls, such as subforms, combo boxes, and list boxes.
RESOLUTION
Move the non-windowed control so that it does not occupy the same space as
the windowed control.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
