Form is jumping up and down

I have a form with some buttons and a datasheet subform on it. When I click on one of the rows on the datasheet a task bar disappears and the form moves up the screen. Then if I click on a button it moves back down and the task bar reappears. How can I stop this? I have monkeyed with the task bars in the past but why should a task bar disappear? Is there anyway you can restore the task bars to the default? I'm using Access 2002.

Hard to say but for starters: Right-Click the taskbar the select properties. Make sure auto-hide isn't checked.

You have to go into customize to get any properties. I played with this a little and selected the datasheet formating toolbar and I did get it so that the form doesn't jump as when that one toolbar disappears completely when the the datasheet on the form is selected but now the 2 toolbars change places. When I click on a button on the form they change back. Why in the worled ... ?
 
I think I figured it out. The datasheet is a subform so it has its own task bars. Duh!

Is there any way in Access you can just say to a form - all taskbars go to default, you know, like I never played with it in the first place?

It was your instance on [blue]taskbars[/blue] that led me astray looking at windows (you really meant tool[blue]bars[/blue] is access).

That said what you need to do whenever a toolbar shows itself in [blue]form view[/blue], is right-click the toolbar in an empty space, then in the listing remove the check from any toolbar. This done you should clear the toolbars from showing in form view . . . If you then close & reopen the form you'll see that they're gone!
