[AccessD] Jumping Forms

Rocky,

    Can it now be said that the design & code of this form does no longer have any obvious distinguishing feature as compared to other forms in your database, which do not jump.

    If so, could you kindly experiment by reducing the design height & width of this form significantly and check the outcome?

    If still no success, are you in a position to send zipped extracts of mdb & mde files containing the problem form?

Regards,

  Mark;

  I took all of the code out of one of the menus except for the .close and a
  .OpenForm to another form.  When I return to that menu from the form I get
  the 'jump'.  So it appears that it's not due to any code.

  Another clue: It doesn't happen in the MDB, only in the MDE.

  Any other ideas?

  TIA
