form's main page scroll bar is overlaping tab control scroll bar

[Jaik]

Hi guys,

I am having scroll overlapping problem with my main form. In main form, there's a subform on a tab control.
So when I go design view, it works perfectly what I wanted. Two separate scroll bars for subform and main form works perfectly. (If I scroll down from my mouse, main form's scroll is working)
However, if I do the form view, scrolls overlaps and if I move down the scroll, it only moves subform. (Unlike design view, if I scroll down with my mouse, subform is scrolling down)

Is there any solution for this?

Thank you

The scroll bar works on whatever has the focus - if the subform has the focus, then that is the scroll bar that will be used. I usually set the TabStop property for subforms to "no".

Thank you for your support,
I changed my tab control and subform's Tab Stop to no in the property sheet, but scroll bar is still focusing on subform when I do the form view ...
Is there any other ways to solve this issue?

Test whether your subform has the focus : move the cursor to a control on the main form and roll your mouse. If the problem has gone away - i.e. the main form now scrolls - then the problem is that your subform has the focus.

I created a form with a subform, I had the problem when I had no editable control on the main form, only labels. There was nothing to "focus" on.

I think I am so stupid. I accidently used header for main and detail for subform. Thanks for the support!

No reason to beat yourself up!

Mark as solved - if done.
