Displaying a long form

S

I have a form that is larger than what can display on the screen. When it is initially dsiplayed the form is scrolled to the bottom of the form. How can I ensure that the form is initially displayed with the top of the form displayed?

Stan,

I would question why you need to create such a long form. Forms like this
aren't condusive to "user-friendliness". Instead, I would counsel you to
find another way, perhaps using multiple forms, or a Tab control.

Place code in the form's Load event:
[ControlName].SetFocus

[ControlName] should be the first control on the form.
