    VBA for Embedded Image in Form 'Send To Back'

    Hi there,



    I have an embedded image on my form that is covering a control and I want to 'send to back'. According to Google, this is an option in the Format Menu in properties, but I have Access 2003 and don't seem to have this object.

    I also understand that there is a DoCmd to Send to Back, but I don't know how to use this properly. Is someone able to help me with the syntax?

    Thanks in advance,
    Kirsti

    Don't have what object - the Properties sheet, Format tab, or 'Send to back' option?

    I am not seeing SendToBack on Properties sheet.

    What happens if you right click on the embedded image control? Does that open a shortcut menu? Is there a listing for Position?

    I think the DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSendToBack is for use on objects not controls.

    I have the Properties sheet and Format tab, just can't see a 'Send to back' option.

    If I right click on the embedded image control, it does open a shortcut menu, but there is not a listing for 'Position'.

    I don't see any option for SendToBack on Properties sheet either.

    Sounds like you are out of luck with 2003.

    What do you want the image control behind? What if you create that control after creating the image control? Does it layer on top?

    Yes, you're right! It does layer.

    Very annoying, but thanks for your help.
