Field centers on screen after first character typed.

[LTM]

I have a form with a large notes section at the bottom. when a use clicks on the field to edit the field stays partially off screen. after the user types in a character, the field jumps up 2 inches so that the field is entirely on screen. this is distracting. is there a way that the field is completely displayed on screen when you first click on it?

i would prefer to keep the notes field on the bottom of the form, as that is where it makes sense for it to be.

thanks

The only way to keep it from Jumping is to make it so none of it is off the screen.
I usually make the screen resolution 1024 x 768 on all my Access database computers to allow for more information.

if you can't set the resolution that high, i'd suggest doing an onclick event.

have your textbox have an onclick event such that, it gains the focus.

eg.

private sub mytxtbox_click()
mytxtbox.setfocus
end sub


that'll work for you Cruz'n and Booz'n always.

the set focus text will work, i want sure what command would do it.
Lots of people with bad eyesight here to set the resolution too high.
