Scroll bars missing.

[.Len B]

I have a popup form called frmShiftF2 launched from another form.
It takes the text contents of a "cell" and displays it in a larger
textbox in a larger font. It is enabled and locked although, if unlocked,
the result is the same. Scrollbars are Yes, Vertical.

Even if the contents extend several lines beyond the bottom of the
textbox, the scrollbar does not appear. You can click in the control and
use DnArrow to see the later lines and UpArrow to scroll back up.

Why doesn't the scrollbar appear? ScrollbarAlign is set to Right. Setting
it to System has no effect.

Hi Len,

You don't say which version of Access you're using. If it's not A2007, and
you've set margins for the textbox, the scrollbar(s) will not display.

HTH,

Rob

A2k3. Yep had L & R margins set to .1cm
Thanks. I've got to wonder why it works like that.

Well, I'd say the way it works like that is that it's a bug that took
Microsoft an awful lot too many versions to fix ;-)
