    Problem with Form starting at the wrong position of a page

    Hi everyone,



    I am a newbie to ms access and forms and I have a small problem with a form. The solution has lots of different forms with different tabs for each section. This particular tab has a few sub forms in it. When I switch into the specific tab in question, the screen moves down ever so slightly and I always have to scroll up to see all the other tab headings.

    Is there a way to do something by code or a property setting I can use to make the page start from the top without users having to scroll up each time?

    I hope I have explained myself clearly enough, if not I will be more than happy to provide more info.

    Please remember that I am not a very coder and I am a newbie, so please if you answer, try and make the answers as simplified as possible so I can understand.

    Many thanks

    The issue is sizing for the screen. Resize and arrange controls to be more compact and make the tab control smaller. If you built with wizard the controls are probably 'grouped'. Select all controls, right click > Layout > Remove. Now resize and arrange as you wish.

    If you want to provide db for analysis, follow instructions at bottom of my post.
