Control and label won't go to back?

Can anybody suggest what is causing this please.

I have a sub-form with about 50 or 60 controls ( tick boxes each with
an associated date control). I want to hide everything until the start
date has been entered. I have put a rectangle onto the form that
covers everything except for the start date. In the on update event of
the rectangle I've checked that the date >"" and then made the
rectangle invisible.

It works perfectly except for just one check box and it's label that
stay on top of the rectangle and stubbornly refuse to go behind it.
I've sent them to the back and sent the rectangle to the front but
just those two objects refuse to be hidden.

As a work around I suppose I can try explicitly hiding the two objects
but I just don't understand why they are acting like this, any ideas
please?

Try to delete them and re-create again. Make sure you drop the controls
outside of the rectangle and then move them to the desired position.
 
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try that next week. A tab control
will fit very nicely into the project, I can use several tabs to split
the controls up into logical blocks at the same time. Two birds with
one stone :^)
