In a continuous form I would like to force a specific record to the top of
the screen. I can use DoCmd.GotoRecor d to go to the record that I want, but
how can I adjust the display so that record appears at the top of the
screen?

Well, if you still have Access 97, you can do it with DoCmd.GoToPage with a
blank page number argument. In Access 200 and above, the page number
argument is no longer optional, so you can't do that even though the help
stillsays to leave out the page number argument to use the current page.

Then I really wish I knew - for me as well as you. I sent a bug report to
Microsoft, but they have not added anything to the knowledge base about it
(big surprise).
Steve,
I've come up with an extremely clumsy work around. I'm embarrassed to show
the code, it's so bad, but if no one provides a better solution, you might
find it of use.
Const ScreenRowsShown As Integer = 10
Dim CurrentRow as Long
[Code Here...]
CurrentRow = Me.CurrentRecor d
If CurrentRow < ScreenRowsShown Then
DoCmd.GoToRecor d , , acLast
Else
DoCmd.GoToRecor d , , acFirst
End If
DoCmd.GoToRecor d , , acGoTo, CurrentRow
Like I said, kludgey, but it gets the current record to the top of the
screen.

When all else fails, go to Stephen Lebans' site ;-)
I think his SetGetSB db has a way to do what you want. www.lebans.com

Hey Marshall,
the sample form using the SelTop property is the best solution: http://www.lebans.com/setgetsb.htm
SetGetSB.zip is a database containing functions to allow a user to Set
or Get the current position of a ScrollBar Thumb for a Form.
NEW - Apr. 02/2000 The current ScrollBar position is equal to the
current Record Number being displayed at the Top of the Form.
Works in Form or Datasheet view.
Ver 1.7
Fix bug in SelTop method. Now works with first page of rows properly and
sets the Top row correctly when moving forward in the recordset one row
at a time.
Ver 1.6
Use SelTop to save Restore current row's position after a Requery.
Ver 1.5
Added support for Horizontal ScrollBars.

It sounds like a flip question, but why does something like this
make such a difference that you want to spend all the time
implementing something to do this?

You can use the Form's SelTop property with a couple of lines of code to
achieve the desired results. I wrote the solution to solve the issue of
allowing the user to easily find the record they were working on, in the
exact same position within the section, after a requery or to duplicate
row positioning in the current session to match that at the end of the
last/previous session.

over how scrollbars work, but I don't know about it if there is. The main
reason for this post is that when the user is at or near the bottom...
