Access is trying to fit the whole tab control on your current screen. If you can shrink the height of the tab control it would probably look fine. Otherwise you will probably need code in the Change event to put the focus on the Command Button.
Thanks for your reply RuralGuy . Changing the page size isn't an option . On the Tabs events properties there isn't a 'on change' event . There is an onclick event and I tried setting the focus to the print button with this event without success.
Any further suggestions on how I could implement this.
Thanks Paul
Why isn't changing the size of tab control an option? I have encountered this before and the best solution was to resize and rearrange controls so everything fits more compactly. I see a lot of white space on that image. I size forms for the smallest screen I expect my users to have. I also avoid meaningless graphics that just occupy real estate.

Your are not looking at the TabControl property sheet, but a Page property sheet. Try again.
