Scrollbar Control on Forms

[Peter]

Hi

I was looking through the microsoft help for Access and
came across a reference to a scrollbar control that can be
built into forms. This may sound like a dumb question but
where is the control? I have tried to add into the
control box using additional controls but can't locate it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Hi:

There is no specific ScrollBar control in Access - all the controls display
scroll bars as needed.

Thanks Naresh.
Sorry guys, looking at my posting I haven't explained it
very well. What I want to know is how to activate text
scrolling within a text box on a form. The text below is
copied directly from access help but I don't know how to
activate the feature

"Change the direction scrolling text moves on a data
access page
Open a data access page in Design view.
Select the scrolling text control, and then click
Properties on the toolbar to display the control's
property sheet.
Do one of the following:
To make the scrolling text move from right to left in the
control, click Left in the Direction property box.
To make the scrolling text move from left to right in the
control, click Right in the Direction property box.
To make the scrolling text move from top to bottom in the
control, choose Down in the Direction property box.
To make the scrolling text move from bottom to top in the
control, choose Up in the Direction property box. "

Thanks again for any responses.
