[AccessD] List box misbehaving

As you have quickly learned, listboxes don't always like being overlayed...
either move it to somewhere else or make it invisible in the section of code
that makes the subform become visible.

Subject: [AccessD] List box misbehaving



Hi folks,

I have an XP app that is giving me the business. Bound form with a
tabcontrol for various memo fields. A list box with a separate data source
(query of another table related to bound form recordsource) An invisible
subform which is the same data as the mainform but in a more 'Excel-like'
display. When they request to see the data as presented by the invisible
form I make it visible (Ta Dah!) It overlays some of the controls and the
listbox is one of them. The listbox refuses to be overlayed...it floats on
top of the subform. I have played with everything I can think of - including
deleting the control and compacting and repairing, then re-creating the
control. It still floats on top (super-annoying) -I checked for requeries of
the listbox. I checked taborders and remnant code, there are no repaints or
restore commands. 

Interestingly, I cannot get the listbox to 'move to back' nicely...it
flickers but stays on top of the Box it sits on - none of the other controls
act this way. Also, if I maximize the form...it doesn't misbehave...but
that, of course, is NOT the solution......???
Thanks,

_D
