select issues

Me again! OK todays issue is trying to marquee select a group of objects in a model that have objects behind them that i don't want to select. As soon as i try and click and drag a rectangle marquee it selects the larger object behind and moves that instead of creating a marquee. Is there a way around this other than hiding the background object first each time?

Cheers
