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.

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.

The reason for that is the 'new' box7 is formated to be ON
TOP of all the other objects.
In design mode, under FORMAT you can 'Send TO Back' This
will place the command buttons back on the top
