While this is true there is a technique that you can use to reorder  
controls within groups without editing the group.  If you find that  
edit the group is indeed what is causing the problem with messages and  
you want to try another approach then I have some general routines for  
relayering controls while not messing up hierarchy. Just contact me  
off-list. The routines are:

MoveControlAfterControl
MoveControlBeforeControl
MoveControlToBeginningOfGroup
MoveControlToBeginningOfParent
MoveControlToEndOfGroup
MoveControlToEndOfParent
MoveControlTowardsBackOfParent
MoveControlTowardsBeginningOfParent
