Question : Access 2003: form with a subform - question about placing a vertical scroll bar... on main form....

Hi EE,

Have a main form with a subform.
The main form has:
      -  a header area with form's title
      -  a footer area with button for CLOSE, OK
      -  a detail area with a subform

In Design mode
          the header, footer, and detail areas are visible
        -however-
In View mode
           the form opens positioning the eye to just see the subform
                    i had to check on  "yes" for vertical scroll bars, in order to scroll to the top
                         to see the header

             i have docmd.maximize in the open event in the code

1) Have uploaded screen shots below:
a - design mode
b - view mode - cannot see the header
c - added vertical scroll bar and scrolled up to show the header
d - is what the screen should look like
               but then the command buttons are not viewable....

2) Have uploaded a test version of the mdb, as well.

Your ideas and advice would be very appreciated, tx, sandra
