Layers
Layers let you position overlapping blocks of content on a page, form, or subform. Layers give you design flexibility because you can control the placement, size, and content of information. You can create and stack multiple layers beneath and above one another. Transparent layers reveal layers underneath; opaque layers conceal layers underneath.

The content of a layer depends on whether you create a layer on a page or a form. When you create a layer on a page, a layer can contain the same elements that a page can contain; for example, you can add text and graphics, and so on. When you create a layer on a form, a layer can contain the same elements that a form can contain; for example, you can add text and graphics, as well as controlled-access sections, fields, and subforms.

After you create a layer, you can change the following properties of the layer:
