Format Menu - Move - To Back

Moves the object from its current location in the section to the first location. This makes the object paint underneath other objects in the section if any of the others overlaps the space of this object.

Notes

  • The object order does not only control what object is painted first and what object may overlap the other, but it also controls the execution order of functions. If the object is a function, this means that the function execution takes place after all objects are painted or functions are executed. This can be very important when there is an object representing the results of a sub-report and a function that assigns values to global variables used in the sub-report. For correct execution, the function should be executed first and the sub-report last.
  • Paint order may be important. To illustrate this, look at the following before and after grid:
