Tabbed Form Focus?

I have a tabbed main form into which I have inserted a subform. I find that in Access 2007 (not 2003), that once I have moved the mouse pointer to make an entry in the subform, when I go back to the main tabbed form to click on a tab to move to another form - I now have to double click the tab to get it to work. Once the pointer has been moved to the subform, I can also click anywhere on the main tabbed form and then click a second time on one of the tabs on that main form - and that will also work.

I am a newbie at this, but it appears to me that what I am having to do is shift the Focus back to the main tabbed form, before Access will act on a mouse click on one of the tabs that is located on that main form.

Sounds trivial, but it is just one more thing that must be taught to some rather inexperienced users of this application.

I would appreciate any help!
