RE: Form Open

In design view you have (if you have selected them) full menus and you may
not have these in form view. Turn off the menus in design view so that that
the form you see is the form you will get. Also turn off auto centre if it
is set to Yes.

Wayne, the set focus code was working, it's just that when I got it to work I
realized that the focus wasn't the real issue.
However, I'm glad you mentioned the tab order, I went there and rearranged a
few things.
What happens is that in design view, I can see the tabs all right. But the
moment I switch to form view, the form scrolls down a bit to just below the
tabs so that I don't see them.

Do you think putting an invisible text field in the form header and setting
the focus to that may do the trick?

This tells me the setfocus code is not working.

Remove the code and then set the tab order.

Next open you form in design view. Can you see the form as you want it -
ie. can you see the tabs. If not move them and then press Control S.

Let me know if these work. <:-)

Ok, let me rephrase that.
This is actually not my problem as I found out when I realized that a simple

Me.TextBox.SetFocus

sets the cursor.

My real problem is that when I open the form, it's scrolled down a bit, and
I don't see the tabs of my tab control.
So again - what causes this behaviour, and how can it be fixed?

Thanks.

Hello,

When I open my form, the cursor is not in the first text field, but in one
halfway down the form, which is a problem because the user needs to see the
top of the form.

Can anybody tell me why this is so, and how I can make sure that the very
first text box has the focus when I open the form?

Thank you.
