subforms/tab control keep moving

I have a form with a tab control on it. Each tab has a
subform. The problem is that the subforms won't hold
still.

In design mode, I click on a tab, move the subform to
where it's supposed to be, then click on the next tab,
reposition that subform, etc. By the time I'm done and go
back to the first tab, its subform has drifted down in
relation to the tab control. The tab control itself tends
to drift upwards as I'm doing this routine.

This is getting old!

Is there any way to lock each subform in place? Or maybe a
way to programatically position each subform when the form
initiates?

Thanks

Sounds like you are moving the other subforms past the limit of the TabControl.
If you move the subform higher than the upper boundary or further to the left
than the left-hand boundary you will cause the TabControl to "stretch" in that
direction. The other objects on the TabControl pages will stay where they were
and therefore appear to have moved down and/or right.
 
That seems to be it. Thanks!
