    Scroll Bar position with a subform

    I have a form that i have created with various tabs along the top, e.g. customer details, customer contact etc etc.




    I have a subform on one of the tabs.


    That subform also has tabs on it.
    When clicking on the main form tab it goes to subform but the scroll bar moves down only to show the subform tab options.


    I have to keep scrolling back up to see the main form tab options.


    Is there something I can do to stop this happening please?

    Scroll Bar position with a subform

    It's a bit of a hack but you can use a
    DoCmd.GoToControl "controlname"
    to move to a certain position on the form

    Alex's suggestion will work, but the underlying problem is that your Tabbed Control on the Subform (if I've read your post right) is too long to be displayed, all at once, on the screen. The definitive answer is to re-size it so that this doesn't occur.

    IMHO, any Form or Form object that requires that the user scroll, in order to view everything, is very user-unfriendly.
