Group box not visible (OpenInsight 32-bit Specific)

A multi-page form was written back in 4.x.x days. Now come to modify it, and a group box refuses to display when the form is executed. Definitely there in developer mode, but no matter what I do it remains invisible. I've had this before, but cannot remember what the solution is!

Nick,

Are you still developing in 4.x? If so, try cutting the control to the clipboard and then pasting it back. If not, then try the SRP Form Fixer.

Hi Don. Form originated somewhere in 4.x.x, but now using 7.1.1.

Tried your Form Fixer, but no difference. The group box in question lies on page 5 of the form, and is a NEW group box. Group boxes on page 1 are fine. All group boxes appear last in the window source.

AHA! Whilst responding I've noticed that page 1 has a group box which spans the whole form, as per the original type of tabbing controls. The new group box therefore lies 'underneath' this. If I make the page 1 group box Visible All Pages, my new group box becomes visible! Wierd behaviour, probably inconsistent, but if it works I'll go for it!
