Tabbing to a field that doesn't appear on screen

J

I have a data entry subform that has more fields horizontally than can appear
on the screen. When I'm in the subform, I can tab through the fields and the
screen will shift for me so that I can see all of the fields when I'm in
them. However, when I open the mainform, my screen doesn't show me the
right-most field when I'm tabbed into it. Is there a property I can set?

If it were me, I'd try to redesign that form. It's not normally a good idea
to make your form larger than the screen. For forms, you can use tab
controls or pages. For subforms, I'd recommend making the data two or three
rows instead of one.

Maybe someone else will have a solution for you, but generally I would not
recommend designing your forms larger than the screen.
