Form jumps
I have a form with a variety of controls including text boxes, list boxes,
option button and command buttons. The data entry routine typically moves from control to control like: List box-Option Button-OptionButton-CommandButton-list box. When I click the command button the whole form jumps down slightly and when I click on a list box it jumps up. It is irritating plus the jump is about the height of a control so that the mouse pointer is left pointing at the wrong choice after the jump. What causes this and how do I make my form stable during data entry? Thanks |

Form jumps
Hi will,
Thanks for the reply. Per your suggestion I turned off auto center. When I tried it the form still jumped. I watched it very carefully this time and finally observed that the form wasn't changing in any way so the form wasn't causing the jump. Instead the menu bars above the form were changing. When I clicked a command button one of the menu bars disappeared. When I clicked something else the menu bar returned. I went to design view, unchecked the offending menu bar and saved. That seems to have fixed it. I didn't know that I could turn menus off and on like that, especially by accident. Thanks for your help.
