Results/Report Page shows up at the bottom of screen

My comany has a centralized access database used to keep track of warehouse
product locations and counts associated with those products.

During regular product inquiries, the results page pops up right in the
center of my screen, however, when counts and adjustments to the database
need to be made, the results page pops up at the bottom of the screen where
the results cannot even be seen and the user has to constantly pull up the
results page to add the necessary adjustments.

This behavior becomes irratating when there hundreds of adjustments that
need to be entered and each time the user needs to physically drap the
results page window up to see what he/she is typing.

Someone please help me,

Sweeper.

I assume you are referring to a page on a form (which I have always avoided;
I use tab controls instead). When a form loads the first control to have
focus (tab order = 0) will be at the top of the screen.

Check the tab order of the controls on the form to see if that is the cause.

Not exactly.

I will attempt to go play by play.

I click a button, it asks me what field, I enter it in, and then it spits
out an answer.

The part that is troublesome is the page itself that displays the asnwer.
Normally this page will pop up right in the center of my screen.

Now, it pops up at the bottom of the screen; the result page window, and
someone litterally has to to drag the window up in order to see the results.

Please help.

Sweeper.
