Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Tabs (size Of) In Forms

    I am wondering if there is a way to make it so that the tabs are different sizes as the headings are different and in one form there is one that is very long.

    Is this possible?

    I don't think so.

    An easy alternative that many prefer for other reasons is to use a large Conditional Object instead of a Tabbed Object, and then position buttons across the top that resemble tabs. These, of course, could be various sizes.

        you can change the size of the tabs ( see pic), but they will all be the same size. there is not a (direct/simple) way to have variably sized tabs dynamically adjusted based on the length of the tab text.

          This is good. Is it possible to control the sizes somewhat without having to do it a different way as this way cuts the left letter of the word off partially?

          Thank you very much for your answer.

            OK, I believe I was wrong. I tried it and in my hands, the tabs in a tabbed object sizes itself to the length of the text. Maybe I am misunderstanding the question.

              It ALMOST sizes itself to the name but it is just a little short on the left so that a quarter of the first letter is cut off on the words in the tabs.

              I guess I can read them though.

                Try putting a period (.) or two as the first of the tab text. Spaces work too.
                There can be only one.

                  Try different fonts, some definitely display better than others, or add a space at the beginning of the tab name.

                  Edit: Hmmm I think I need to feed my carrier pigeons red bull or some thing. I was sure Stan's reply wasn't there when I hit submit. But I guess they did have further to fly.

                  A complex system that does not work is invariably found to have evolved from a simpler system that worked just fine.

                    WOW, this is a great idea. I should have thought of it.

                    Thank you.
