Trouble with positioning form (Access 2003)

[jflash]

I have been struggling for 3 days, trying to figure out why my form opens
down and over to the right. My form has static information at the top and a
tab control with 5 tabs below that. Each of the tabs contains a subform for
the entry of various kinds of data.

I have tried to remedy this situation by making the size of each subform as
small as I can so they do not stretch past the right of the screen and they
are way shorter than the tabs themseleves. I have read all the posts on
positioning a form such as DoCmd.MoveSize 0, 0, etc. but nothing seems to
work.

I do notice that I am unable to shrink the size of the tab control itself
and cannot figure out why when all the subforms seem to be smaller than the
height and width of the tab control.

I'm kind of at my wits end, here, so any help would be appreciated. Keep in
mind that this is the first time I've ever used a tab control and I only know
enought VBA to be dangerous!

Thanks in advance for any tips.

Joann,

When I have that problem (assuming this is a popup form) I open the form in
designview, clck on the restore button, move it where I would like it, then
Save. You could also set the Autocenter property to yes.

God Bless,

Thanks Mark but my form is a regular form containing a tab control with 5
tabs. In each tab is a subform. BTW I do have AutoSize set to yes.
