i had posted 2 different ?'s yesterday and the suggestion
didn't work. the tab order is correct, that's not the
problem

i have a main form with tab controls. there are 4 tabs
with subforms on each. tab2 has a survey (which is long
25-30 questions with comments section most questions are
yes/no checkboxes). when i tab through the survey, i have
to use the scroll bar to see the bottom questions. When i
use the space bar to put a check on a bottom question, it
automatically brings the form to the top of the form and
then i have to use the scroll bar to go back down.

what can i do, so that when i tab through the sections, it
automatically scrolls up and when i use the space bar to
check a box it doesn't automatcially go to the top of the
page, any help is greatly appreciated
 
mazon, I don't wish to be rude, but you really need to learn how to use
these newsgroups properly.

No-one has the time to go back through hundreds of posts from all over the
world, to find whatever you posted "yesterday". If you ask a quesion, & get
some suggestions - which I know you did, because I posted some - and you do
not like the suggestions, or they do not work for you - you need to >post
back to the original thread<. Then, people can give you more suggestions &
keep helping you.

If you arbitrarily start a new thread - as you have done here - the people
who answered you before, will not be inclined to try & keep helping.

Just my 2c worth ...

i'm a novice using newsgroups, so i appologize if i
offended anyone. i did post a reply and didn't get a
response, that's why i reposted. I'm just trying to get
my form to work. i did try the suggestion given, but it
didn't work. again sorry for any inconvienence i may have
caused
 
Ok, no problems.

So, let's see if we can solve your problem!

Essentially, as I understand it, you have a form (which is operating as a
subform) that has lots of checkboxes. The bottom-most checkboxes are below
the visible edge of the screen. You can get down to those checkboxes using
the vertical scrollbar, but when you click one of them, the form instantly
goes back to the top of the screen - so the checkbox that you jst clicked,
immediately disappears, and you have to use the scrollbars to get back to
it.

Is that correct?

Which section of the form are all the checkboxes in? (form header, page
header, detail section, page footer or form footer?) Are there any controls
in any of the >other< sections?

HTH,
TC
 
the whole subform is yes/no checkboxes it's in the detail
section. there are about 30 questions and 4 comment
boxes. if i use the scroll bar and the mouse to check
the box it works it works fine, i'm having problems when
i use the tab to tab through the fields and when i use a
spacebar to check a box. there is only 1 command button
that is used to add a new record. thanks for your help,
it is greatly appreciated. :) i have several subforms,
and they all seem to be working fine. a few of the
subforms also have command buttons to create a new record.
