Tab Control Problem

Okay here is the problem...

I have built a nice form for operations throughout a database (since the people around our office aren't very computer literate).

I have built the form using a tab control and then connected to the tabs are seperate subforms. The problem with the tab control is that everytime a tab is pressed (switching the subform) the screen centers on the subform. This is a very annoying problem since you have to manually scroll back up to get the entire form in view.

Does anyone know what properties I have to change in order to have this problem fixed?

Thank you very much
Jon
 
Sounds like the focus is going to the subform. Put it back to the tab after loading the subform or to whatever control you want to have the focus.

Hi,

Not sure if this would cause this problem, but do you have 'Auto Centre' set on the sub-form properties?

Also, is the subform 'sized' correctly within the tab control? Is it small enough?
