That is the default behaviour and AFAIK there is no way to change that.

Can anyone describe for me the procedure for changing/controlling the
z-order
of drop lines relative to the plotted data in an Excel 2007 chart?

I would like for the chart's drop lines to remain active, but appear
behind
the plotted data. The default display for drop lines seems to be on top.

Thanks!

Joseph
