how to see tabs when opening a form

[Deb]

THis is bizarre, but when I open my form that has a
tabbed section in it, but opens with the top of the
subforms (which are located in the tabed section) at the
top of the form, rather than the top of the main form.
THis is bothersome becuase when it does this, you cant
see the various tabs. YOu have to scroll up to see the
different tab labels. Then as soon as you start entering
information in one of the forms on a tabbed section, it
scrolls down again and you cannot read the different tab
sections. How can I format this so that when opening the
form or looking at data, the tab labels will always be
showing?

Resize your form so that the entire form is in one window.

Try this:

Make sure that the first control in the form's tabbing order is at the top of
the form (in other words, the tab control and all the controls it contains
should have their "Tab Index" properties set to a number higher than 0). If all
of your present controls are in the tab control, place an unbound textbox at the
top of the form (set the "Top" property to zero), delete the textbox's label and
set the textbox's height and width properties to zero.
