I have a form that is 21" wide.
When I tab through the fields it tabs off screen.
The user then has to scroll over to the right, and back.
Is there a way to have the screen move to follow to where you are tabbing? I have tried both setfocus and gotocontrol. They set the focus but it is still off screen.

I found my resolution. My problem was I was trying to have it autoscroll the main form, when I tabbed in a subform. According to MS KB 106306 this is by design, and can't be fixed. Of course this may be a challenge to all you tek-tips experts out there.
