Everytime I open a form that I have made, it is scrolled 1/3 the way down. And even when I skip to the next entry the form is once again scrolled 1/3 down the page. THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!! How do I fix this???
 
Narwe,

My first thought is that a control located 1/3 of the way down the page gets
the focus before any other control.

Open the form in design view, right-click and select [Tab Order] from the
context menu. Note the name of the first control in the list, and if that
control is about 1/3 of the way down the page, then change the tab order
using this dialog.

1. Generally, it is better to design the Form so that it
fits the screen since most users don't like having to
scroll the Form up and down to enter data or to see data
being displayed.

2. If you want Form that need scrolling, have you placed
the Control that is first in the Tab order near the top of
the Form Detail section?

3. Do you use the TabControl on your Form? IIRC, the
Form tends to scroll down so that the TabControl is shown
on screen. There is a work-around for this behaviour if
this is the case.
