    <p>I don't know that I understand the question, but in a comment, you say that Access doesn't allow you to set focus to a tab control, but you can set focus to the tab page:</p> <pre><code> Me!ctlTab.Pages(N).SetFocus </code></pre> <p>...where N is the index of the tab page you want to set focus to), or with: </p> <pre><code> Me!pgeTabPageName.SetFocus </code></pre> <p>Both of these work to set focus to the tab page.</p> <p>You say you want to set focus to the tab control, but I can't figure out why you'd want to do that. The tab control itself has no elements that can get focus -- only the members of its Pages collection do.</p> <p>Again, I would suggest that you've painted yourself into a corner for some other reason and there's no solution. Therefore, you have to figure out how to avoid getting into that insoluble problem. I simply don't understand your explanation of the problem well enough to be able to offer a solution, but I doubt there's no way to resolve the issue through a different approach.</p>

    1. COAs mwolfe02 understood correctly the problem occurs when the page is larger than the actual screen estate. If this situation occurs, then the tabbed pane becomes invisible for the user. You have to scroll up to see that you are inside of a tab control. What you really want is that the focus of the top of this page should never be lost to guarantee visibility of basic navigation. The corner you mentioned is that this Access Application has to work under different screen resolutions.

    2. COWell, pardon me for not understanding your very unclear question. I don't know why you've downvoted the answer -- I said quite clearly it's not the answer you want. Frankly, I have a hard time understand why you'd want a tab control larger than the screen. It sounds like an extremely user-hostile design to me. That MS hasn't accounted for it (and it therefore doesn't work) is not something I think I'm going to get too bent out of shape about, as the answer it so use a tab control in a much more reasonable manner.

    3. COIs down voting considered rude on stackoverflow? Then I am sorry. I just thought of it as sorting out questions that don't really fit. Yes, my question was quite unclear, so sorry for that, again, I tried to change that. What I really need would be a floating design which fit the different screen resolutions dynamically. Actually I started to use less screen estate to make it fit the worst case. This was downright rejected by my user base. So maybe we have different experiences with users. Why shouldn't MS think about different resolutions?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
