Text field used to hold color only to place at top of form does not stay in background

Hi,
I have added a Text field and filled it with blue color just so it will display at top of form. I then have a title, logo and buttons that I've placed on top of the Text field and have positioned it to Send to Back. But every once in a while when I click on the Blue text box it moves it to the front and I must click outside of the area for the buttons to appear back on top. It is also not enabled and it is locked. I also cannot drag the mouse to select all buttons, it grabs the text field instead.

What setting am I missing that will permanently place it in the back? I'm certain this is simple, just can't find it.....
Thanks!

Untested, but trying setting the Locked Property of the Textbox to Yes.

Is there a reason you're not using a Label, instead of a Textbox...like you're using Conditional Formatting to it?

Hope this helps!

Yea, the Locked is set to Yes and Enable is set to No. No reason why I picked a Text box and I just changed it to a label but it seems to be acting the same way. Anytime I click in the Blue label and try to select a group of buttons by dragging the mouse it brings the label to the front and overlays the buttons (all in design mode not form view). I can always get them back by hitting the back button, it is just strange.
Thanks!

When selecting the controls that you want, try clicking on the first control and then Ctrl + Click (or Shift + Click) on the other controls that you want to access.

Is that not due to the age of the objects (newer objects overlap older)?
I think that I used to copy all, then delete all, then paste all.
