Tara, it's not possible to help without seeing your code.  I can, however, 
GUESS what might be happening.  I'm thinking that the submenus (with their 
z-index) are contained within a parent menu container (with its z-index). 
When you have a nested situation like this, the descendent z-idices are all 
only effective within the context of the parent z-index.  In other words, if 
the parent's z-index is 1, then a submenu with a z-index of 5000 will be 
higher than any other submenu with a z-index less than 5000, but will still 
only be considered to have a z-index of 1 vis-a-vis the page itself.  Thus, 
adjusting the submenu z-index values will only affect the behavior inside 
the parent.  To move the menu 'closer to the top', you'd have to adjust the 
parent's z-index.

Make sense?  It's completely hypothetical, though.
