Scrolling and subforms

Dear forum,

In my database, I have one instance where a specific collection of 7
forms are expected all at one time, so I tried to build an entry screen

where the entry form for each individual form is present as a subform
in a tabcontrol in one main form, to make it easier for my unit's Data
Entry Officers. Unfortunately, where the individual subform is longer
than the screen
allows, the page does not scroll down when fields below the screen are
selected (so that when the field at the bottom of the screen is exited
by pressing tab, or enter, or by an autotab or skip, the next field is
selected without the screen scrolling down). This seems to be a result
of having a subform that is longer than the screen can display at one
time. Does anyone know how to
fix this?


Best regards,


Patrick
 
Not to worry - have got around it by breaking up the content of each
subforms among a further tab control, thus eliminating the need for
scrolling at all (tab controls in subforms in tab controls.... sigh).
