First Record Diisappearing in Form

[Guest]

I have simple form based on a table. The table contains 13 records.
When I open the form, all 13 records are displayed.
In case I scroll once, the first record disappears. The status bar still
says 13 records, but I can't reach the first record anymore.
Being build like a list, the form now contains in the first row record
number 2. The
record number 1 is nowhere to be seen.

Any helpful hint?

It sounds like your form is too big and is running off the screen. Try
reducing the size of the form or increasing the resolution.

Are you sure you can scroll up to the first record?

When you in the key field type (Ctrl+F) to find the record, type the key
number and see if you get any resault

Thanks Ofer for your fast reply.

I can return to the first record in the way you described.
But the prob is still existing.
In case of decreasing the window size, the scrolling is working properly.
With the
fullsize window - it is only used around 50 % - the first record disappears.
There is a
scroll bar is moving down maybe 0.1 inch. And there should be a scrollbar in
the first place, because there isn't anything to scroll.

The scroll bar will apear only when the amount of records will run out the
winodw space.
If you don't have a scroll bar, check the ScrollBars Property of the form.

There is a scroll bar, but there shouldn't be one because only half the
window is needed. I could display around 30 records in one window without
the need to scroll.
(Sorry but I left n't in the earlier post)

Ok, I'm not saying this is the problem you have, but in the past I have had
similar problems. In these instances the scroll bar is there because the
form size is too big for the screen, so a scroll bar appears. This scroll
bar is not for the records, but for the form. As you say, you only have 13
records, so there should be no scroll bar for them. What happens when you
click to scroll down is that the form scrolls down along with the records.
When you scroll back up you find that you can't see the first one or two
records. And you can't scroll back up to them. I'm sure more experienced and
knowledable folk than me can tell you WHY it does this, 'cos I don't know,
but it does do it.

Have you got a large form footer or header? Do you have a page header or
footer? Does changing the screen resolution make any difference? I have a
client who has a dodgy graphics card on one of his pc's and he has exactly
this problem with some of his forms. I've had to reduce the size of them
just so that he can see them on the faulty pc. Ironically he could have
bought a new graphics card much more cheaply.
