Jason: I have experience exactly the same problem you describe when I run a R:Base 7.5 application using Windows Vista. The application was developed and runs perfectly under Window XP. Since I am hoping to upgrade to 7.6 or 8.0 in the near future and I still have an XP laptop, I have not taken the time to play with the setting in Vista. Maybe, someone that has 7.5 working in Vista can chime in.

After I place all my controls and save the form, the controls move around in all three dimensions when I open the form again. I even have controls leaving their parent object. For example, I have an Enhanced Panel that contains a second Enhanced Panel. Inside the second Enhanced Panel, I have placed several Label (Static Text) controls. Before I save and close the form, if I try to drag them out of the Enhanced Panel, I cannot. After I save and reopen the form (either in design view, or by running it), the Static Text controls have moved up and to the left, and behind all the other controls. They are no longer confined to the Enhanced Panel. If I try to send either of the Enhanced Panels to the back, I still can't see the Static Text controls. I can move the Enhanced Panels out of the way and then select the Static Text controls. When I drag the Static Text controls over the Enhanced Panels and drop them, they immediately go behind the Enhanced Panels. I have also tried selecting a Static Text control, and then choosing Bring to Front and dragging it. It still goes behind the Enhanced Panel. I am sure that I am doing something fairly basic wrong, but I can't figure out what. It seems that the form itself becomes the parent for all the controls after I save it. Is there some way to reset the parent property? Am I somehow accidentally breaking the parent/child relationship? If anybody can point me in the right direction, I would be grateful.
