Prevent tabs from disappearing under form header.
I have a form with a tab control where the pages contain subforms.
When I click on a tab, if any controls are near or partially below the bottom of the screen, the tabs (with the page names) fold up under the form header. How can I stop this? Thank you Peter |

Prevent tabs from disappearing under form header.
Thanks--but the he form is a work space/desktop and I want it to be user
friendly. E.g., the form has a word document as an OLE object that is quite long. Ive looked at the Tab control and Page propertiies and can't see anything. Is there any way of doing this programatically? Regards Peter |

Maybe add a scroll bar and allow the user to scroll up.

Thanks for the suggestion, but the form already has a scrollbar. A user may fill in a record over a period of days or months and being able to quickly click through the pages allows them to review their state of progress. As it is, they have to click on the tab and then click on the left-hand-side bar to show the tabs again. I was also having problems with "There is no OLE object" dialogue box popping up every time I clicked a tab and I was able to prevent that by shifting focus to a control on the header. I had hoped there might be a similar solution for this. Thanks Peter "Duane Hookom" wrote: Maybe add a scroll bar and allow the user to scroll up. -- Duane Hookom MS Access MVP |

Prevent tabs from disappearing under form header.
I found several other posts looking for a solution to this so:
Go to the problem tab page, click on the subform holder NOT the Form itself. Set the Tab Stop property to No. This should fix the problem. If not, continue: Make a tiny, blank subform (e.g., 1cm x 1cm)--don't bother to give it a Record Source. Nest it near the top of your existing subform. Set the Tab Stop property to Yes.
