Default Send to back options

Hi,

I have a few text boxes that need to overlap for colouring effects (don't
ask), but i can't seem to let the "top" text box (or label if you may) be "on
top" and transparent.... this is the one with the actual text on top of three
adjacent boxes each with a different colour. Where are the send to back /
bring to front options in Access Forms?

Thank you!

Select the control.
Click on Format + Send To Back (or Bring to Front).
