Tab form shifts up

[Guest]

I am working with Access 2003. I have a tab form with 5 tabs. As I click on
the tabs the form shifts up so that you cannot see the tabs. I assume this is
because the form runs off the bottom of the screen. Is there anyway to stop
this. Thank you.

Are you saying that your tab control is so large (tall) that it shifts up to
show the bottom of it?

If so, an obvious solution is to make it a bit shorter (or reduce/eliminate
header/footer).

Or have I misunderstood your situation?

This kind of behavior can occur if (1) as Jeff said, the tabbed page is too
tall to display all at once and (2) the first control to receive focus is
near the bottom of the tabbed page. Make sure the first control on the page
is near the top. But I tend to agree with Jeff, if the tabbed control is
that tall it needs to be shortened; avoiding unruly "long" forms is one of
the reasons ro use tabbed controls!
