Has anyone had dialogs pop up behind the Report Designer?

This has happened at designtime and run-time. I'm on D4 SP2, Report
Builder 6.03 on Windows 2000 (SR-1) with the Waler TExtraOptions.
(Recompiled for D4)

At designtime, sometimes even while compiling if the Report Designer is
open, and a dialog for anything appears it immeiately vanishes behind
the Report Designer. Alt_tabbing out of and Back into Delphi causes it
to reappear momentarily but it then hides. Judicious timing with the
space bar can oftyen rectify that.

But now I have a report that has the Report appears behind the main form
of the application! Very Anoying. It happens both with the Delphi IDe
and outside it. Any clues?

Thanks

    I think I have solved this myself so if anyone else gets it- heres what
    happened.

    At designtime- there seems to have been some confusion over the names in
    the Report Designer components. I tried to copy a label and it said
    there was already a label2. After this error the object inspector
    refused to acknowledge components until the designer was closed and
    reopened. Careful looking at the text of the components (ALT-F12)
    revealed problems which I corrected. Itw orked fine then.

    At runtime- there were two components which expected doubles (in the
    pipe fields) but were getting strings. I think this caused an exception
    and its that in both cases that caused the popups to appear behind the
    report designer.

    So be careful about names!
