label on top of subform

[redFred]

How does one ensure that a label remains on top of a subform in viewing mode?

I have sent everything to the back, brought the label to the front. Still,
subforms show through.

How do I prevent an underlying subform from showing through label?

Thanks.

When the subform has the focus, it will "show" through any object on top if
it. You'll need to put the label in the subform (or a copy of it) as well.

Thanks, Ken.

My label is made visible by code while the code runs, then invisible. I'd
like it to "cover" controls including subforms. I did set focus to a field
called txtHoldFocus but the subform still covers part of the label.

Is there another way?

Thanks.

Why not just manipulate the Visibility property of those controls in your
code? That may be easier and more suited for your desired result than using
a label as a "cover".

Thanks again Ken. That's what I'll do. Hide and show.
