Formatting Forms

[Guest]

I am creating forms for entering information.

How do I format they way they will display to the person doing the entering?

Further explaination.

The form is not centered when opened and all of the tabs at the top are not
visible.

Hi

Open the form in design view and select the properties box for the form
(right click the empty section below the area where you have put the items.)
On the event column go down to the OnOpen action and click the code builder.
You will see this

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)

End Sub

You need to add just one line of code so that it looks like this

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
DoCmd.Maximize
End Sub

Save this and go back to the form in design view. Move the tabs to where
you want them and then press Control and S at the same time. Save again and
reopen in form view.

If this fails (still in form view) drag the tabs to where you want them and
press Control S again. Save - close - reopen - you will the form fitting the
screen and the tabs where you want them.

Good luck - hope this helps
