When I open my form it does not open at the top. I have a tab control at the
top. How can I set it to always open at the top.
 
Hi Jennifer,

If by "at the top" you mean with the focus set to the tab control,
right-click in the background of the form and choose Tab Order. Rearrange as
desired. To make sure that a particular control on the tab control is first,
right-click inside the tab control and choose Tab Order. Rearrange as
desired.

If that is not what you need, please be more specific.

No, I can't get it to work.

I have tabs (pages) set across the top of the form and they do not show up
in the tab order. Is there something I can add. I've checked in properties
and didn't see anything.

Thanks!
 
Hi Jennifer,

Okay, I am still a little unsure. If you need to rearrange the tabs of
the tab control, right-click on the tab control and chose Page Order.
Arrange as needed. Is that what you needed?

When I open the form it is not displaying the "tabs" at the top. You
actually have to scroll up to see the tabs. The form opens with the first
input field but that is not really the top of the form,

Thank you for you response!
 
Hi Jennifer,

So the tab control is larger than the form view area? I am able to
replicate the problem if the first control on the form is below the view
area. By first, I mean the first in the control tab order, which is not
necessarily the first visually. Did you check the tab order of the controls
on the tab control? Boy, does that sound confusing with "tab control" and
"control tab order", where tab order is not the order of the tabs in the tab
control, but the order of the controls on the tab control. If you look at
the properties of the visually first text box control on the tab control,
does it show 0 for the Tab Index?
