strange movement in a form

[Slez via AccessMonster.com]

I have a form that displays when my database is opened via an AutoExec Macro.
I have OpenForm and Maximize as the 2 actions. It works as intended.

On that form, I have a multi tab subform. When opened, it defaults to the
first tab as desired, but when I click on any other tab, the entire form
drops down about 1/4", then stays in that location no matter which tab is
selected, including the first tab.

What could be the cause of this? Is that perhaps a result of what Access
does when a form is maximized?
Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated!
Thank you!

I suspect the tab control is just a little too tall. If the form opens
Max'd, but shifts down when you click on the tab, try, in design mode,
shortening the tab control.

Also check for the presence and/or absense of menu buttons. This can
change between the open and the selection of the tab form.

I have to remind myself to turn off all menubuttons that are not
necessary for the program before I save the form in order to stop this
from happening.

And I'll go one step further than Ron...

If you have any toolbars opened that you don't need to see for the app to
run, be sure to close those down, too.
