Form with Tabbed Control Bar

[douginiraq]

I have a Form called MDCF in the db.

When the form is opened the form is slightly scrolled down and the tabs are not visible. I have tried numerous format options all with no effect on the start position of the form on open...

Any ideas on how to get the default so the form tabs are always visible?

Cheers!

Can you show us a screenshot of the form so we understand what you're talking about?

Also a screenshot of it in design view would be good too.

I'll do one better, here is a copy in 2007 format.

Cheers!

That's because the contents of your tab control is too tall so Access is trying to display the contents of the tab.

I've implemented in a workaround in the attached. Find the command button called cmdFocus and look in the Open event of the form and the Change event of the tab control for the code.

I dont mind it being to tall but is there any way to have it default to the top of the form?

Have you had a look at the attached?

I am now, i would think that it would be a simple format box on the form properties I was not seeing..

Nope! Like I explained, it's a workaround for situations like that. This is a common problem with tab controls.

ok, cool, I'll try and figure out what you did so I can educate my self.

Thanks!
