access 2003 scroll bars in text box

Guest

I have created a text box in access that has scollbars so that you can read a
rather large field. The problem is the scrollbars only appear when the object
has the focus.
I really don't want to code two outside buttons for scrolling, is there any
way to have the scroll bars in the text box stay visable all the time?

No. The scrollbars will be visible only when the control has focus.

There is also a bug that causes the scrollbars to disappear if the internal
margins of the text box are set (non-zero).
