It's not a big problem, but once I start something I want to fully master it.

My form consists of five tabbed panes.

When I open my form, Windows's viewport (the part of the form which is visible) positions itself in such a way that the upper control (in my case a textbox) of the top tabbed pane is on the top of the screen. So in order to view (and click on) the tabs of the tabbed panes one has to scroll up.

How can I adjust this?

Thank you.
 
Basically, this is occurring because your Detail area, when added to the header and Footer sections of your form, is too large to display on the screen. Since the Header and Footer sections cannot be scrolled, and the Detail section can, you get your current situation.

The solution is to resize your form sections so that the Detail section is displayed in full and the Header and Footer sections only take up the remainder of the screen space.
