Page tabs keep going AWOL
I have a form with 5 page tabs at the top.
In design view they appear ok, but as soon as I go into the normal view the user sees, they disappear and I can only reshow them by pressing CTRL-SHIFT-TAB. Can someone please help? Thanks Phil |

How do you have the Style property of the tab control set?
Or is the Height of the (Detail?) section of the form inadequate? -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP.

I'd like an answer to this mystery also! I have an app with tabbed pages and
everything works fine when the form is invoked from the Objects Dialog box or when invoked from another form. The behaviour he's referring to (I think) occurs when you're in Design View and then run the form firectly from there. The Tabbed Pages disappear and the lower half of the form blanks out. -- There's ALWAYS more than one way to skin a cat!

Yes, that's exactly it.
Infuriating, as this is the only thing preventing us releasing the previous 6 months' work! "missinglinq via AccessMonster.com" wrote: I'd like an answer to this mystery also!

Style prop = "Tabs"
Height looks ok! I don't mean to sound cheeky, but would you mind if I emailed you my database pls? Sorry if I'm causing offence, but I genuinely can't understand what I'm doing wrong.

Before you email me, can you do a couple of things.
1. Uncheck the boxes under: Tools | Options | General | Name AutoCorrect Explanation of why: http://allenbrowne.com/bug-03.html Then Compact the database: Tools | Database Utilities | Compact/Repair 2. Make a copy of the database (so you don't damage your original.) Open the form in design view. Set the form's HasModule property to No, answering Yes to the confirmation. Save and close the form. Compact the database again. Does the form still play up without any code? 3. Export the form to a text file, using the undocumented SaveAsText. This kind of thing: SaveAsText acForm, "Form1", "C:\Form1.txt" Then delete the form, and compact the database. Now import the form again from the text file: LoadFromText acForm, "Form1", "C:\Form1.txt" Did that rescue it? 4. If it still plays up, try the divide'n'conquor trick. Delete half the controls from the form. Compact. Does it still play up? If so, delete half again, and so on. Is there a point where it comes good? If so, add in half the things from the last delete, continuing until you pinpoint the culprit. I'm really under the hammer at the moment, Phil, but if that goes nowhere you can email me and include the text of this thread. -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP.

Granted this is aggravating, Phil, but since it only appears when going from
Design View to Normal View, I don't see why that should hold up deploying the apps. End users aren't usually granted access to Design View, and this is the only way I've experienced this particular snafu. BTW, I've gone thru all of Allen's suggestions without success. -- There's ALWAYS more than one way to skin a cat! Answers/posts based on Access 2000 Message posted via http://www.accessmonster.com |

You killed the code, exported with SaveAsText, and reimported, and the
problem survived? -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP. Perth, Western Australia Tips for Access users - http://allenbrowne.com/tips.html Reply to group, rather than allenbrowne at mvps dot org.

Hi chaps,
I solved it thanks to Allen. The problem was in Normal View, the tabs weren't showing so it couldn't be deployed in that state. Basically the problem was two of the six pages were too long. When I shortened these pages, the headers show ok!! Hoorah, what a result, at last this problem has disappeared! Many thanks chaps, and especially Allen I really appreciate all your kind help.
