Tabbed Control Position

[MikeLoon]

I have a tabbed control with several pages containing subforms. When I go from tab to tab the focus is set on the 1sth control of the subform and many times the tabs disappear to the top of the screen.
This causes a lot of panic and confusion with the users but I haven't found a fix for it yet. Any ideas?

Sounds like your form is too big for your users' screens. I never allow a form to scroll. See if you can make the form smaller.

Good shot, but the form size not optional. It's just holding a lot of data.

Then I'd put a tiny control somewhere on the form that won't cause the scrolling, and set that to be the first item in the tab order.

But the form size is always optional. <g> I'd break the form down into more forms to make it work.
