scroll bar in subform

[Guest]

Hi,

My problem is simple:
I have 2 forms each with a subform where the subforms are used for entering
data. On one if the there are more rows than visible space in the subform, a
scroll bar appears and I can scroll down. Wonderful. The other form/subform
is EXACTLY the same as far as properties go (and I have painstakenly checked
this to be true) and yet no scroll bar appears. Why and how can I fix it?

Thanks

If the 'scrollbars' property of your subform is in fact set to either 'both'
or 'vertical' as you've claimed, then all I can think of is that the subform
control on your main form is too narrow for the scrollbar to be visible. You
can check this by selecting the subform control in the design view of your
main form, then selecting 'Format', 'Size To Fit' from the form design menu
bar. The control will automatically resize to display the entire width of
the form object specified in its 'SourceObject' property. good luck.

Thanks Elwin; I had to "retinker" with the size after that but it works now.
I appreciate the help!
