Access Form Scrollbars

23 New Member
I'm hoping this is an easy question but here goes. What would cause a form to load and not be positioned at the top of the form?

I have a main form with a subform. Inside the subform, I have pages/tabs setup. When the main form is loaded, the subform is scrolled down the page and you cannot see what is at the top of the subform. What would cause this? And how do I fix it? It also happens when you click some of the page tabs (the subform automatically scrolls down the page onload). I thought it would be a simple form property, but am unsure of which one.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks so much,
CC

Not sure, personally, since I really don't use subforms (no need for them yet). But the first thing that came to my mind was to check your Tab Order on the form (or subform). It may be that something near the bottom of your form (or subform) is at the top of the Tab Order list.

I'm equally limited on subform experience, but that does sound like a sensible answer.

The cursor always goes to one of the controls on a form or subform. This is controlled by the tab order. It stands to reason this is what's causing your situation.

Let us know how you get on with this.

It's probally being caused by the subform being larger than it's control on the main form. You will either have to reduce the size of the actual subform or increase it's control size.

Actually, I suspect it's a function of both of these things! A control near the bottom of the tabbed page getting focus and the tabbed control being too long. Can't really say I've ever seen tabbed pages on a subform.

Hi, I am working on a project where I have to make a form list static, i.e. put in links so that users can choose a local file. As it stands, it's looking for a php file. Here's an example of the body code: <select name="standardcode" size="10" onchange="document.reqForm.submit()" tabindex="4"> <option value="0" SELECTED>-- Select a Standard--</option> <option value= >Alabama</option>

When I set the Size property on the VB.NET form properties pane to a size of 800, 1200 the 1200 always resets back to 1036? Why is that? When I open a child form in the MDI parent the only way the MDI displays scroll bars if if the child form is not maximized and is moved over the edge of the MDI. Is there a way to turn those scroll bars on when the child form is maximized?

I work in an Access window that approximates the size of my laptop screen. My current project has a form that vertically mostly fills the available space. If Access adds the Office Clipboard toolbar to the headings, the form no longer fits in the available space. Logic would dictate that vertical scrollbars be added. Not so! Access changes the size of my form, both height & width. It then centers the form within the space, and saves the...
