I'm having the same bug as this guy (in below post) was having but his issue
was never addressed. Can anyone help?
This is a tiny bit difficult to set up, but...
Make a form with "continuous forms" view. To make the following bug easy to
see,
make it a "tight" display so records take up one line each. Also make it
slightly smaller than the width of your screen, because a horizontal
scroller makes it less obvious.
Open a recordset into the form such that the view is "overfilled" -- ie,
there is a vertical scroller that can be moved because there are more records
than the view can hold.
Use the scroll wheel on your mouse. Everything works fine.
Now, modify the recordset so it has LESS records than a full view - put
something into the WHERE.
Use the scroll wheel to "scroll down" - note that the topmost record has
scrolled off the screen even though there is nowhere to scroll to (bad
enough, but wait...)
Use the scroll wheel to "scroll up" - NOTE THAT THE RECORD DOES NOT COME
BACK! Also note that there is NO VISUAL INDICATION OF THE MISSING RECORD.
The only way to get it back is to click on the up arrow, if you realize
there's a problem in the first place.
Happens on 2003, 2002, Access XP and 2000.

I tried looking on the MS web site for a form that I could send in this bug
on, but I couldn't find one. So I called them and they said I could either
snail-mail it to them, or pay $45 for a support call to report it. They
stated, convinced I believe, that MS has no online bug reporting system.
I'm not sure I believe that, but I thought it was funny either way.
