no scrollbars in textbox

[Wm]

Access 2k, Win 2k

This has got to be a simple problem, but I'm only half here today. I am
trying to get my textbox to display scrollbars but it won't. I've set
"Scroll Bars" to "Vertical" in the properties box and I've set
MyTextBox.ScrollBars = 2 in the VBA code (and the Watch window confirms
this). Nothing happens, even when the text runs off the bottom of the box.
What am I missing?

Thanks,
William

There is a bug where if the Margin props of the TextBox contain a value
other than 0 the ScrollBars will not appear.

That was it! I also found that the scrollbars don't appear until you set
the focus to that textbox. Another nice "feature" of Access.

Thanks,
