[AccessD] DoCmd.GotoControl shifts form?

[Ryan W]

There's some sort of correlation between anchoring and using focusing on a
child subform (and then a control on that subform) to use
docmd.gotorecord,,acnewrec (in the case of add).

It also happens with Forms!FormName!SubFormControlName.setfocus....

If I tinker enough with the control sizes that anchor and stretch down I
can get it to stop dancing on me...
