tab control

[ace]

I have created a form using tab control and inserted other already created
forms for each tab by moving an dropping. When I click on any of the tabs
the form it brings takes the whole screen moving the tabs up and as a result
I have to scroll up to see the tabs again. How can I set it up so that when a
tab is clicked the screen does not move up and the tabs are always accessible?
Thanks,

You have to resize the forms you have placed on the tabs just a little. Make
them a little smalle and you won't have to scroll.

So first adjust the forms then adjust the tabcontrol a little

Maurice,

Thanks for your reply. I have made them smaller but one of them did and the
other didn't work! So, it is still not clear what I am suppose to do!

Do I make the subforms smaller and then place them to the form with the tab
or am I suppose to make changes in the form that has the tab? Also, can you
be more descriptive on how I know that it will work!

Thanks,

Ok, let's try this...

I assume you have a main form with a tabcontrol on it right? Make sure you
have a little space on each side of the tabcontrol (that will prevent it from
creating scrollbars). Now on each tab where you have a subform placed resize
that form on each tab (make sure that you keep a little space on each side of
the subform on the tab). also make sure that - when you have them on the
subforms - the form footers and form headers are as small as possible.

That should do the trick, but remember you have to do this for all your
forms on every tab you use.
