Tab labels hidden when opening main form

[Guest]

I have a main form with several tabbed pages.
When I open the form it is always sitting about 1/4inch too high and the row
of tab labels is not visible. First thing I have to do is to scroll up.
After that it is fine, moving from page to page does not upset it.
I have tried adjusting the page heights and somebody suggested putting a
little subform at the top of the page with the tab order set to 1. No good.
It is very very irritating - suggestions PLEASE!
Thanks

In design view you may have other toolbars on show (design, etc) when in
form view these tools bars may not be there. Click the view option at the
top of the page and sidable the design tool bars in form view)

Try 2 other things

in form view go to the View option / Toolbar and deselect the "form View".
Make sure that the toolbars that you can see i design view are the same as
you can see in form view.

Next set the top field on the page as the 1st tab (open the form in design
viewand select View and then select the Tab Stop - drag the field to the top
of the list)

Thanks but it makes no diff whether I have 1 or even 0 rows of toolbars, or 4.
And I already tried the trick of putting the focus (first tab stop) at the
very top.
Got any further ideas or are you in bed now (fellow Brit, past midnight!)
Thanks anyway

Hi CW,
I have the same problem on occasion. For me, it usually requires my
modification (i.e. shortening) either my form header and/or form footer.
since you already tried adjusting the height of your pages, it might be that
your header is too "tall" or your footer is too "tall". Ideally, of course,
your vertical scroll bar shouldn't display at all.
Have your tried shortening the header and/or footer?
