Opening a form

[Jeff]

Hi

I have a form that when I open it, it doesn't show from the top. The
form is automatically scrolled down about 1/2" which means I have to
scroll up to get some of the buttons, etc.

Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks

Jeff

Is the form Single View, Continuous or Datasheet? When you "scroll up" are
you actually using a scroll bar, i.e. is the screen large enough that a
vertical scroll bar is present. If so, the problem is probably that the first
control in to get focus, i.e. the control that's first in the tab order is
partway down the form. Make sure that the upper/left most control gets the
initial focus and it should solve your problem.

I would suspect that to mean that the Form's window was saved at a size not
quite large enough to show the entire form. Try setting the AutoResize property
to true.

Check the tab order of our form. You'll probably find that the first field
in the tab order is at the bottom of your form.
