SYMPTOMS
When you place a control from the toolbox over an ActiveX control on a form, the control is not visible or is not displayed properly. For example, when you place a tab control on top of a Calendar control, the tabs are the only part of the tab control painted on top of the Calendar control. The rest of the Calendar control is painted over the actual pages of the tab control.



MORE INFORMATION
The following controls do not appear correctly when you place them over an ActiveX control:

  List Box Subform/Subreport Tab Control

The following controls are not visible when you place them over an ActiveX control:

  Bound Object Frame Check Box Combo Box Command Button Image Label Line Option Button Option Group Rectangle Text Box Toggle Button Unbound Object Frame

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Create a new form in Design view.
 * 2) On the Insert menu, click ActiveX Control. In the Insert ActiveX Control dialog box, click Calendar Control, and then click OK.
 * 3) Add a tab control on top of the Calendar control, and then view the form in Form view.

Note that the tab control is not completely visible on the Calendar control.
