Space between Detail & Form

[neil02]

Hi all,

I am hoping that your expertise will help me solve what I am sure is something really silly.



I am really new to Access and have had to pick up a half finished Database off a colleague who has just had a baby.

She has created a form with tabbed navigation pane for inputting new staff records. I want to put a text box above the form to indicate which record is being viewed, i.e John Bloggs.

However, when I add the textbox with the correct expression in it above the form and open in form view, the form snaps to the Header and you have to scroll up to see the added textbox with John Bloggs' name in it.

How can I create a space between the Header & Form which will allow the user to see John Bloggs at the top of the form without scrolling up?

I hope it makes sense!

Many thanks in advance

I know that problem - very frustrating! Either you can make the nav pane smaller so that it fits on your screen and Access can display it on open without having to reformat, or you can put John Bloggs into the header.
