Problem getting a tab control subform to display correctly

[jnahman]

Hi all,

I have a main form with a subform which is a 3 tab form. When the subform is
opened by itself, the tabs display correctly. But if the main form is opened,
the tabs disappear leaving only the controls from the first tab visible. In
other words, there is no way to access the other two tabs. But if in view
form you right click the mouse while over the subform an option Subform-form
appears and if chosen, will display correctly.

Is there a way to set the properties so that the form always opens correctly?
This form used to work correctly and I have other databases with the same
design that correctly works but I can't find out how they differ or what
control is incorrectly set.

thanks
jaime

I discovered that the frame for the submenu was slightly too small and that
was the cause of the initial cutting off of the tabs. Strange though that
using the "subform--form" resulted in a corrected view.

Hope this helps someone who ends up with a similar experience.
