Hi Sannyasin, Check out the 'relayerGroupedControls' global property, find out the layer of the outer group, and change the layers of the individual controls. I haven't tried it with fields that have sharedText, though, so you might want to copy the stack first. Hope this helped, Jan Schenkel. ===== "As we grow older, we grow both wiser and more foolish at the same time." (La Rochefoucauld) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
