Form - Display Screen Issue

[scgoodman]

I have a form that I pull up in my database. When the form shows up, the side bar shows half way down the screen. How do I fix? I have tabs at the top of the form and they need to be seen.

One thing that comes to mind for you to check, is your tab order. It kind of sounds like your first control in your tab order is half way down on your form and when you open your form it goes to that control, which will show your scroll bar (side bar) being half way down on your screen.

HTH,

It's not...it is set to the first field under the tabs. It is about an inch down on the screen. Thanks for the thought. Any other ideas?

No, not really. My first suggestion almost always ends up being the reason for your type of problem. You could double check where the cursor is, after the form opens, to make sure it is in the first control. After that I would say check your forms borders in design view but I don't think that is going to make a difference if your sure the first control, at the top of the form is getting the focus first.

Good luck,
