How do keep tabs on screen

[rpochoda]

I have a form with 5 tabbed pages. Four of the pages display linked subforms. When I tab to one of these pages, the display moves to the display but drops down a bit so I can no longer see the tabs. If I want to switch to another page, I have to scroll up to see the tabs. I would like the default view for each tab to remain at the top of that page so the tabs can be seen. I tried playing with the tab control and subform heights. I'm not sure I got all the possibilities, but none I tried worked. I also tried setting the focus to a control on the top line of the subforms. No help there either. I would love to be able to set the focus on the tab itself, but there's no way to do that either. Any ideas?!??

Welcome to the forum.

Perhaps the discussion and links in this thread will give you some pointers.

I could be way off here but what about the anchor controls on the property sheet? Try setting it to top left.

Thanks for the help guys. But neither method worked. But I figured it out. I moved the controls on the subforms down half an inch or so, then on the tab, I move the whole subform up till the top of the subform is flush with the top of the tabs. (Who would have thought you could do this!) Now when the first control on the subforms gets focus, I can still see the tabs.
