Scroll Bars in subform

[Guest]

I have a form with subform (both in form view). I can set the form with
scroll bars, but I cannot get the subform to have scroll bars. I have tried
to set the form to "neither" and the subform to "both", but it does not seem
to work.

Any suggestions?

Remember that scroll bars only show if the information displayed
exceeds the bounts of the form being show. Do you have more data than
will display horizontally? Do you have more records than will show
vertically?

In the form, there is definitely more than can be displayed. In the subform,
does it matter whether it is a single or continuous form? I definitely ned to
scroll down to see the entire form/subform.

Yes it would matter, If it is a single form, then progression from one
record to the next would be by your mouse wheel or by the record
indicators on the bottom or perhaps page down and up.

If continuous form it should basically be the same but a lot would
depend if the form in itself is larger or smaller than the window of
the subform you have allowed.

Are you in datasheet, singleform or continuous form?

It's a single form.

Another thought and something I did to myself once.....

Do any of your forms have scroll bars? One time I inadvertantly ended
up with all my vertical scroll bars on top of each other, so that I
could never get down low enough to see the vertical scroll bar for the
sub form because the upper form was on top of it.

The reverse can be true also. If you have NO bars on your parent form
but the sub forms go off the edge(s) of that form, you cannot move
things around to get to them even if they are there.
