Form horizontal and vertical sliders

[Johnathon Anderson]

Hello everyone

I have made a form with both horizontal and vertical slider bars. But when
I view the form I can not see the horizontal bar along the base of the form
and the vertical bar has the bottom missing so I can not see the small arrow
that is needed to move to the next record.

I have made a mistake somewhere. Can anyone help please.

Johnathon,

...and the vertical bar has the bottom missing so I can not see the small
arrow
that is needed to move to the next record.

That really leads me to believe that your display needs adjustment.
If you set up the form's Navigation Buttons = Yes... can you see the
navigation information?
That occupies the same line as the horizontal scroll bar...

(No big deal, but...the small arrow at the bottom of the vertical scroll
bar does
not go to the next record... it just increments downward toward
the bottom of the form's record.)

No I don't have the record selector.

It is a popup form set to maximise.

Private Sub Form_Load()
DoCmd.Maximize
End Sub

Not sure if this is making the problem. I use a popup form so that all the
normal windows buttons are not there and the form looks better.

Johnathan,
You wrote...Be careful of your terminology. The "RecordSelectors" are the boxes to
the right of each record that allow the user to mouse select the record (ex.
for deletion)
The "Navigation Buttons" are in the lower left corner of the form.

Your reply above implies you did not set the Navigation Buttons = Yes,
to determine if you could see the navigation buttons. Did you try my
suggestion? And... if you did, could you see them?

I also suggested that you try adjusting your display. Specifically
raising the bottom edge up.
Did you try that?

I had a remote client that could not see my Exit buttons on the bottom
of my forms. Separate apps and separate displays had the problem. They
finally got a techie in there... and every display was out of adjustment.
