opening form so tabs show

[vickiwells]

My form with a header and a tab control always opens slightly down from the top so that the tabs don't show. You have to use the scroll bar to see them. What's causing this? If I can get it to open right, I can get rid of the vertical scroll bar and have a little more room on the screen.

Hi Vicki,
The reason the tabs don't show is because
your tab control page size is larger than
the screen will allow ( without inserting
the vertical scroll bar ).
Go in disign view and click on your tab
control. You'll see a solid line around the
area designated for your control. On the
sides and bottom you should see small
sizeing bullets, ( not exactly sure what
their called ) move your cursor over them
until they turn to arrows. Keep decreasing
the size of the page. When you see the top
of the header, you should be ok. You may have
to put fields that don't show up on another
page if you dont want to use a scroll bar.

Hope That Helps

Skip

I don't know if your having the same problem.
I use backgrounds on some of my tab pages and not wanting the user to see the edge of my background I put a page break control on my tab page and then create a macro and tell it to "go to page" and tell it the name of my page break control and I set the right and down to "0". Then on the "on open" event of my form for my tab page I select the the dropdown and choose the macro and then you can convert the macro the VB if you would like.

hope this is what you were looking for.
