my question is, when im inputing values on the 4th subform(aprox. after the
15th line of the subform after the focus) i cant see the fields below until i
use the mouse and move the vertical scrollbar down. its like when you are
reading in word and move with your [down arrow] and you know that your cursor
is paging down but YOU ARE NOT VIEWING that phrases, i dont know if there is
a property for the mainform or the subform but .SETFocus on my commands
doesnt works.

Also, when im exiting from a subform i put:

Private Sub placa_lostfocus()
Miembro.SetFocus
End Sub

where placa is a text_field and miembro a subform, i dont know if this is
correct but works, cause my MainForm window doesnt 'autoscroll' when my
cursor is navigating with [Arrows] or [TABS] across all the subforms.
Please correct me for this
 
how can be sure my user is viewing the working control?? please help me

Please explain. You CAN'T control what the user is looking at; he
could be looking across the office out the window, or looking at the
centerfold (in the latest Science, with the great shots of Meridiani
Planum); or could have the Access window minimized.

What are you trying to accomplish? What's the context?

Hi John, my problem ocurss when entering values on my 4th subform (the
larger), when pressing TAB the "window" DO NOT autoscroll, so you cant view
what controls you are using, i need to use the mouse to move the scroll bar.
When you read this list, you can navigate with down-arrow, Tab or pagedown
keys (for scrolling down), but what will you do if the CONTENT-TEXT-ITEMS are
not page-downed with your keys??

I cannot see your form and I cannot visualize what you are describing.
You say "my 4th subform (the larger)" as if you're assuming that I
can.

If you've run out of screen space to put four subforms on a form and
have room for all of them to display all their fields, consider using
a Tab Control with one subform on each page. You won't see the
subforms simultaneously but you'll have access to all the data.
