If I understand you correctly, you have 3 subforms visible and want them to remain visible when you make a 4th subform visible on top of them? However, when you open the form and click the button to make it visible it appears behind the other 3 forms.
I just tested the above scenario and after in design mode I move the 4th subform to the front with Move To Front (control-F) then run it, the 4th subform displays in front. If I move it to the back with Move To Back (control-B) in design mode, it properly opens behind the other subforms when run. Are you sure that you in fact moved the 4th subform to the front while in design mode?
