    tabs not viewable


    I created a form with 6 tabs across the top of the page. One of my users is not able to see the tabs even though everyone else is able to. When she opens a report then goes back, she can see the tabs temporarily, but this isn't a reliable method. Does anyone have any thoughts on why this is occuring with her computer only, and what I can do to resolve the issue in a way that doesn't affect everyone else?

    It sounds like her screen resolution is different from the others. Have you made the TabControl as small as you can?

    Thanks

    Tab control was initially set very low, and then I increased it thinking that might make a difference, but it didn't work. Thanks for the suggestion though. I will definitely look into the screen resolution possibility - thanks!!

    When you are using a TabControl, Access tries to "Help" by making the first control with the focus visible on the screen. If that means scrollong the form down a bit and hense the tabs off the top of the screen, then so be it. I always try and make my tab control as short as possible to avoid this situation. Width is not a problem, just height.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
