>>>How do you make a form scroll to the control with focus as you tab from control to control?

Not to be critical, just pointing out an interface semi-standard: most people don't know much about making scrollbars on forms work because it's considered only a "last resort" to design a form with scrollbars. Considered pretty bad interface design by most. (I know, I really shouldn't try to speak for "most".)

In my (not-so-humble) opinion, if you're putting scrollbars on a form, you should at least consider whether you could break the form into more than one form, or use page frames.

Also in defense of others who didn't respond: most of the people who read the thread may have just decided that you had already gotten the right answer and not added theirs to it.

Cheers,
Rich.
