If the y pos of the bottom of the frame's starting size > y pos of an object's top, then the object is "below" the framseset and could then be adjusted by the amount of the resize diff.
But then again the other suggestion to be able to fix it to the top or bottom of the band (VFP style) would also work and probably be a better & easier solution.
