-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

If you have two grids on a form and they overlap, the one that is behind will
not come forward and paint properly on the screen when you activate it. This is
also true for any other overlapping controls.

WORKAROUND
==========

Use a FormSet or a PageFrame control, so you don't need to overlap any objects
on the form.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at
the beginning of this article. This problem has been fixed in Visual FoxPro 5.0
for Windows.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Create a form.

2. Add two Grids to the form making sure the grids overlap at least a little
  bit.

3. Run the form, and switch between the two grids. Notice that the grid that's
  slightly covered by the other grid does not paint properly when it's the
  active control.
