I've created a form with 5 tabs. Everytime it is opened,
the vertical scroll bar is at the bottom. Irritating to
pull it up to the top to begin data entry. Any
suggestions?
 
Hi Linda,
Try putting the following into the 'On Open' event
of the form:
me!FirstField.SetFocus

Substitute your field name for 'firstField'

Hope This Helps
 
I'm not exactly sure how your form is set up, but I use a really simple
method on two of my forms. One is a long option group and the other a tab
form that was hiding the tabs because of the length of the data. I added a
very small (.01x.01) text box, set to transparent, position it in the top
left corner, and in the form open event, add
me!textboxname.setfocus
this puts the vertical scroll bar back to the top. If the user is clicking
on options on the form, this doesn't affect that. However, if you want the
focus to be on a particular field on the form (say for text input) this
wouldn't be a good idea.
