I have a subform on a main form that sits below several comboboxes on the main form. The main form is a tabbed form with three pages. Each page has a similar subform, not identical. On the third page, the subform is displaying too high and covering several of the comboboxes. In Design View, it's position looks fine, well below the comboboxes but in Form View it covers some of the comboboxes.

Any ideas. This problem was not present earlier in the day.
 
I've gone to my backup and gotten the form which does not exhibit this
problem.

Nevertheless, I'd appreciate any info anyone might have regarding this. If
I hadn't been saving backups all day I'd be pretty frustrated.

Hi Karen,

Thanks you for using the newsgroup and it is my pleasure to help you with
your issue.

From your information, in the design view, every thing is fine but when
preview it, it is overlaped. From my experience, you could simply adjust
the location in the Design View and then check if it make some change when
preview. The most safe method would be, in the On Open event of the Form,
you could set the location of each object, that is to set the Left, Top,
Width, Height properties to a specific value. Then, when the form is
opened, all of the objects will be placed to a fixed location.

BTW: No matter what circumstances you are in, to backup the database would
be a VERY GOOD habbit. It will prevent any lose of your work to a lowest
level when any emergency happens.

Hope this helps!

Hi Baisong,

I did try your suggestion and still the problem remained. Guess it is just
one of the little mysteries you get sometimes in Access. I'm not stressed
since the backup copy worked just fine.

Hi Karen,

Thanks for your reply. That is great that every thing is back to normal
when you restored from the backup. A good news! Well, it is quite strange
that even you set the location properties of the control objects in the
OnOpen event, they still overlaped. If you encounter the same problem next
time, feel free to let me know.

Thanks for choosing Microsoft and enjoy Access. :)

Hope this helps!
