form with tabs opens scrolled down the page

[Guest]

On my form I have a header with buttons.
The tabbed page is in the detail section.
When the form opens I would like the scroll bar to be at the top of the tab
not
lower. It seems as though it scrolls automatically to the first line of
fields
but I would like the user to see the tab labels as well.
thanks,

Janis,
Not sure if I understand... are you saying that the form opens up scrolled
down... and that it's scrolled down too far?
The first thing I'd suspect is the tab order, and where Access thinks the form needs
to go to display the TabOrder 0 field.
If this is what you mean, you could place a camouflaged (psuedo-hidden) text control up
a bit higher
on the form (The border, backcolor, and font all match the form
background - Not in the TabOrder, and Enabled and Locked).
The form OnCurrent could cause a GoToControl to that field first, and then immediately
to your Tab field, and not trigger a scroll down.
As I say... I'm not sure if that's what you mean.
