How to show the form all the way to to the top?

[hshaker]

I have created a tab control with several pages in a form and whenever I open the form I don't see the pages because it is going to first text field control.

How would I make sure that whenever the form is opened or a new record is created the vertical scroll bar is all the way to top so that I am able to see the tabbed pages.

Have you checked the TabIndex property of your controls ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

Yes I have they are in the tab order that I created (1,2,3,4 ..) there is no negative number.

I don't know if I am say this right

A tab control is an object where you place on the form and can create different pages.

When the forms opens the top of the tab control object is hidden and I have to scroll up to see the different pages.

As PHV indicated, it sounds like the first control that gets focus is lower down on the form, forcing Access to scroll down slightly.

Try setting the topmost control 'inside' your Tab to TabIndex=1, and ensure that TabStop=Yes.

It may help you to know which control really has the focus when you open the form. You could add this temporarily to the form's OnOpen event to find out, if you're not 100% sure:

Msgbox "The control with focus is: " & screen.ActiveControl.name

How are ya hshaker . . .

It could be that the height of your [blue]mainform[/blue] is too large for the screen! If its set for [blue]Single View[/blue] you'll know if scrollbars are showing.

Reduce the height of the mainform and/or tab control until the scroll bars disappear.

See Ya! . . . . . .
