How do I place controls within a rectangle?

In VB, you draw a frame, and then, while the frame is selected, place
the control in the frame.

This doesn't seem to work with Access rectangles.

In Access, you don't want to select the rectangle. With the rectangle not
selected, just place the control inside it. Alternatively, you may create
controls first and then place a rectangle around them. Another tip: If you
want the rectangle to serve only as a border, set the Back Style to
"Transparent". If you want the rectangle to also serve as a background, set
the rectangle's Back Style to "Normal" and then select "Format - Send to
Back" from the form design menu.
