    When drawing circle, how to bring it to the front?

    Using the circle command on a report and it draws the circle but behind everything else I have on the page, is there a way to bring it to the front?



    Me.Circle (3000, 1000), 500

    is what I have so far

    I don’t think so but if you say exactly what you’re trying to do someone may find a workaround.

    Okay here’s a workaround which actually might be quite useful.

    We can have a parent report which may or may not have controls and/or drawings on it.
    If it has both then the controls will be in front of the drawings.
    If we add a sub-report and do the drawings on it then those drawings will be in front of the parent drawings and controls.

    I’ve only tested it to two levels of sub-reports but it works as expected. Each new sub-report forces its layer to be over its parent.

    So that’s one thing I have learned today.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
