Patti, You did a correct way of transferring an object, excepting you weren't aware of what the "positioning" of the copied object would be after pasting it. Whatever the "TOP" "LEFT" properties of the copied object were _Relative_ to its parent, that will be the "TOP" "LEFT" of the object after pasting _Relative_ to its "Container" (the Scrolling Region). Go ahead and delete any extra copies of the object using the Object List (ToolBar>Layout>ToolBars>Object List) to access it. click on the remaining object that you want to keep and set its "TOP" "LEFT" to something like 5 and 5 and it will show up on the screen after you save your settings. All that happens is the object is moved from view when you paste it and as a short way of avoiding this scenario is after freshly pasting an object, press control and the up arrow and the object will "pop" into view.

I had fields on my form and thought there may be some way of copying and pasting them into my scrolling region. I tried it twice with one of the fields, but it didn't seem to work. So I did it the correct way. Then after setting it up the whole form, I looked at the tabbing order of my scrolling region, and that one field was listed 3 times. It is only in my region once though and no where else on the form. I deleted the field, and the other two instances are still in the tabbing order. Next try: I defined an expression for that field, so I could delete it, and then say yes to the question of deleting any occurances on my form. No luck, they're still in my tabbing order. Any ideas of how to fix this, short of starting over? Thanks, Patti
