Tab Controls Disappear from sight in Form View
I have a database with 5 tabs, 4 have subforms, linked to main form via a
user ID field that automatically fills in on all subforms when the ID is entered on the main form. The problem is that in form view, after entering a new ID, when I click on any of the other tabs, the top of the details section with the tabs disappears and I see only the subform from the User ID downward. I really would like to have the tabs always be viewable, no matter which tab control I happen to be working in. Thank you. |

Try making the form smaller in design view and when opening the form, have it
maximize. Hope this helps.

Usually this behavior is the result of having the control that first receives
focus being located low on the tabbed page, causing Access to automatically scroll down. -- There's ALWAYS more than one way to skin a cat! Answers/posts based on Access 2000/2003 Message posted via http://www.accessmonster.com |

Thank you, I tried that but no luck. The main form shows the detail section
properly when no tabs and subforms are inserted but as soon as I put them back, the tabs along the top are not viewable when opening the form in Form view.

If your tabs have subforms on them it means your subform *controls* are not tall enough to show the entire subform within them. -- Rick Brandt, Microsoft Access MVP Email (as appropriate) to...

Ok. Sorry but I don't understand what you mean. I am trying to figure this
out by using a Microsoft guide but obviously I am missing something. Or many somethings "Rick Brandt" wrote: BG44 wrote: Thank you, I tried that but no luck.

Or many somethings Example: If your subform control (on a TabPage) is 2 inches tall and the form shown within it is 2.1 inches tall then I have seen this behavior where the Tabs scroll up and out of view. Making the subform control taller solves the problem. -- Rick Brandt, Microsoft Access MVP Email (as appropriate) to... RBrandt at Hunter dot com |

I don't know. I try and try but cannot get it to work. The form is fine until
I add another tab with subform - as soon as I do, the tabs disappear. All the subforms I try affect the main form the same way. Thanks for the responses though. "Rick Brandt" wrote: BG44 wrote: Ok.

All the subforms I try affect the main form the same way. Thanks for the responses though. But...did you try simply making the subform control taller? As a test make it a LOT taller and see what happens. -- Rick Brandt, Microsoft Access MVP Email (as appropriate) to... RBrandt at Hunter dot com |
