Scroll bars won't show in text box

I have a memo field on a form. When the text box fills up
the scroll bars don't show, even though I set the property
to "vertical." What can I do?
Thanks.

The verical scrollbar will show when the TextBox has the
Focus.

What I normally do is to size the height of the TextBox so
that it can display X.5 (X:whole number) so that the user
can see that more text exists but not (entirely) visible
and when he/she puts the Focus on the TextBox, the
vertical scrollbar will show up.

Actually I found the problem - I had the left and top
margins set and that was removing the scroll bar. I took
off the margins and my scroll bars show up now.

Thanks.
