Vertical Scroll Bar Missing

[Dan]

The vertical scroll bar does not appear on my form when
the display window is smaller than the form, even though
the scroll bars property is set to both. I also tried it
with the vertical only setting, but it still was missing.
Is there a problem with this property in Access 2000? Is
there an interaction of this property with other
properties?

Dan, I'm assuming you are referring to a subform. If so then if on your
mainform you have a horizontal scroll bar you can scroll to the right and
you will see that it is there. I would simply make the subform small enough
to fit within the window as that's the whole purpose of the scroll bars so
that you can conserve space. Just my opinion. Hope this helps!

Reggie,

Thanks for the response. Actually, I'm having this
problem with a main form, which contains a tab control
with subforms. The vertical scroll bars on the subforms
work correctly. When I set the main form scroll bars
property to both, the margins for the bars appears, but
no controls. The form is larger than the window, so a
scroll bar should be enabled.

Dan, Not sure I fully understand but maybe the problem is the you have it
set to Auto Resize = Yes and being that all the subforms/tabs etc actually
fit on your form the scroll bars will not display because they are not
needed. They will only be displayed if they are needed. Could this be the
problem?
