Problem with scroll bars on Database window?

[Tony Williams]

If I open say a form from the database window, amend it and then save it
when I try to scroll the database window the vertical scroll bar doesn't
move I have to click on say Reports then go back to Forms and then it moves.
The same thing happens in any of the objects in the Database window, if I
open close a report the same thing happens.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I had a similar problem with the horizontal scroll bar on the database
window. I found that if you resize the database window, the scroll bar will
work again. For the vertical scroll bar, you'd have to resize the database
window's height. Unfortunately, it's only a very temporary fix as you'll
likely have the same problem again.

I saw a post about it some time back. The gist of that post was that there
was no real information provided about fixing it permanently. If there's a
permanent fix, I don't know what it is. I guess you could try reloading
access, but I never did.

I've noticed it with several different versions of both Access and Excel. In
my case, I just move the window slightly using the mouse and the database
becomes responsive again. I think this is more of a problem with graphics
cards or drivers than Access because it doesn't happen on all my computers.
It is a minor annoyance because I design my applications to use forms and
reports that rarely require scrolling and I work from menus with the
database window always hidden.
