Tabbed control form don't display on Access 2007

Hi There,
I created a form main form and used tab control page to create two tabbed form, vieworder1 and vieworder2 so when user click from the main form on this tab it go to that form. It was working fine and Users were able to see it in access 2007.All of a sudden, It no longer displays the two tabbed forms on the main form
When I open the database and click on Ribbon and Access option- Current database-
Document windows options
right now it is on Overlapping Windows .
 I can't remember if I had to have it on Overlapping windows or Tabbed documents for it to work right.
When I first did this form, I found out I have to have this on one of the above option for it to display both the tabbed form.
Not sure why it is not displaying both the tabs any more. See attached screen shot. I will appreciate any help on this

I think this option has nothing to do with the tab control inside your form. It is to display each of the widows (i.e. when you open one table and then another you will see the small tabs User generated imageHowever, your problem is most likely due to a problem with the form. Are you sure that you are using the main form as a startup form, not a Vieworder1 or Vieworder2?

Yes I am using main form as startup form and it was working until now. Actually one of that option disables the tabbed form inside the main form, I think. This is how I got it working the first time,when I first did these form year back had this problem, I did some research and found on access 2007 that I have to use one of those options. When i changed it from the default option, it started working.
Right now it is on Overlapping Windows .
 I can't remember if I had on Overlapping windows or Tabbed documents for it to work right.When I try both now, it doesn't work.

If the height of the detail section will not fit in the size of the window, the detail section is typically scrolled down and that hides the tabs on the top.  Play around with the height until the tabs are visible.  You could also add vertical scroll bars so you can see that the tabs are actually there, but just scrolled out of sight.

Hi Scott and Pat,
Thanks for your post. I just realize some users are able to see it. I will try to adjust the height, I agree with what you have mentioned.I have done this in the past to make this visible,Now that only for couple of users it's not visible I'm wondering if it is the screen resolution, I may have to adjust the height so it is visible for all.
Thanks scott for the detail note, very useful information. Thanks Pat for your help, I was thinking the same.
thanks chaau for you help.

So what's the reason for the B grade? We gave you the solution, and Pat suggested a valid workaround - i.e. develop at a lower resolution, or use a 3rd party utility to resize as needed.
