The button on the first page is the last "field" - simply because to put it anywhere else in the sequence is silly. The button on the second page is also the last item - but it could go anywhere as data cannot be changed on this page.
I suspect that David Blocker has hit on the solution: "You have to make sure that the LAST field on page 1 in field order is an editable field and the same with the FIRST field on page 2." I have used a "CursorHold" variable in other forms for other reasons which I _suppose_ that I could use on this form but it seems a strange way to overcome the problem and it looks unsightly. I have not yet been able to get a field like this to stay hidden behind others or not to change colour when the cursor lands on it.
