Hi Alex,

I have to agree with you! That is how the program was designed and currently works at several client sites. This client, however, is paying for the "long form" design! So, even though I argued against it, what the client wants (and pays for), the client gets! <g>.

>>I have a very long form that extends off the normal monitor. I have a scroll bar on the right side. As the user tabs through the form fields, I would like the form to automatically scroll down (or up) without the user having to manually click the scroll bars.
