How do I get the data already entered into a record to show in the form so I
can edit the data in the form page. The forms are set to continuous forms.
Also the forms do not scrool.

Assuming that the form is bound to the table/query containing the data
Open the form in design view
Ensure the controls are bound to specific table/query fields
If they are
Open the form in normal view and edit
If they are not
In design view open the property box for each control
Set the source of the control to a table/query field
Open the form in normal view view and edit

If you don't have a form
Create a query from the table data - use a wizard if needed
Create a form from the query - use a wizard if needed
Edit the form
Also the forms do not scrool.

Open the form in design view
Open the form's property box (by right clicking outside the details area)
Set the sroll bar to vertical = Yes
 
Just had a thought

Ensure the form is "not" set to Data Entry = Yes

Open the frm in design view and select the Data column to check this
