How can tab controls of mulitple page form be at top when opening

I am using Access 2003 - I have a four page form with each page on a tab
control. When I open this form, the tabs at the top are pushed off the
screen and I have to move the vertical scroll bar up so that the top of the
form with tabs are displayed. Is there some setting that will allow this
form to open with the tabs displayed?

Karen,

The tabs will appear unless the form itself is too long to fit on the
screen. Check the height of the form header, detail section, and footer to
see if you can reduce any of them. Also check the height of te tab control
itself. Often times, it can get resized without you realizing it, like when
dragging a subform onto it.

God Bless,

Usually this happens when the control that gets focus first is on the lower
end of the page. Make sure, instead, that the first control to gain focus is
near the top of the page. Probably, in the Form_Current event, something like

Me.TextboxNearTopOfPage.SetFocus
