ZOrder method

[Guest]

Does anyone know why my Access 2000 does not recognize the ZOrder method for a textbox control?

It could be because Access doesn't have a ZOrder method for textboxes.

Eric,

There is no ZOrder method in Access, as the Form and Control objects are
vastly different from those found in Visual Basic.

If you will post back and describe what it is that you want to do with your
textbox control, I am sure someone will have suggestions for you that are
appropriate to Access.

Cheryl,

Thanks for the reply, I'd assumed such but was led to
believe differently by the number of times my MSDN Office
2000 documentation described the ZOrder method and
provided samples...

I'm attempting to place a textbox on top of the active
cell of a MSFlexGrid. The text box does move as expected
and does receive focus with all entry processed by the
control. The content is not visible but can be placed in
the flex grid cell when the textbox after_update event
fires. BTW, the same symptoms occur when I usre a combo
control in the same manner, the text box portion of the
control is never visible but the dropdown lis is.

Eric,

I'd consider using an Access subform rather than the
flexgrid. They share much of the same function, plus
being as a subform is a native Access object, you will
save yourself a lot of hassle. Nor will you have to
bother floating controls over the subform, as they can be
incorporated into your subform.

Hope that helps.
