Default tabbed forms open to full window

I am creating a tabbed form and when I open the form, I can see the first tab
with no problem, but when I click on the second tab, the subform enlarges to
full screen and I can't return to the 1st form. I switched the forms from 1
to 2 to 2 to 1 and it still happened. Any suggestions? Thanks.

This will sometimes happen if the tab control is too "tall", so to speak.
Open your form in design view and try moving the bottom edge of the
tab control up (you may need to move up other controls on each tab
page first before you can move the bottom edge of the tab control itself).

This can be a rather tedious exercise, but eventually you should be
able to get everything to appear correctly on the screen.
