David, You should be able to select all the objects that are not in the container, then cut, then click on the container to select it and then paste the cut objects.
However, you will probably find that you need to extend the container (before or after) so that you can see the pasted objects as they will be positioned 5 pixels to the right and 5 down from their original position relevant to their original container, presumably the form itself. Move them as you need and then return the container to the original size. Once you have them in the container you will be able to change the order. If you find you need to change the order of the containers you can do that from the parent container and/or the form. Hope that helps, Regards, Alastair.

This form was created by someone else, I'm modifying it, and it appears that somehow the person located objects without actually placing them AS PART OF the container. If I click on the container, and right click and select Tab order, the ONLY field that comes up is the one I located. If I click on an empty section of the form, and either via the menu or right click select change tab order, I get all the OTHER objects EXCEPT the two I located. My method of locating the fields was: 1. Click on the DB Edit icon 2. Click inside the container where I wanted it located. How can I correct this?

Select the container (box) first, and then click on the Tab Order to review all objects within that container (box) to re-order.
