Difference between Z Order and Calc Order

edited December 2004 in General
I have some variables that are all in a group footer.
Some variables rely on other variables being calculated first. I'm trying to
control the calculation of the variables and am not having much luck.
Setting the calc order seems to do nothing. Is it deprecated?
I'm not sure how to set the Z order. I seen a post mentioning using send to
back / front, but that doesn't seem very pratical if you have more that two
variables.

Any suggestions?

    Hi Preston,

    The z-order defines when the report component is created in relation to
    other components in that band. The CalcOrder determines when the OnCalc
    event will fire in relation to other TppVariables in that band. In my
    testing the CalcOrder property was working correctly in RB 9.01.

    Thanks for the clarification.

    As for the calc order not working, that was my fault.
