Text Box

[Greg]

How do I adda text box that will display a scroll bar on
the right hand side once you have filled up the text box.
I need the small text box to be able to hold lots of text.
I get word wraping fine but when you continue to type and
the box fills up the text disappears at the bottom. The
text exists but there is no scroll bar to read it.

Depending on what you're doing, the best option would be
the textbox in the Control Toolbox (View->Toolbars-

Control Toolbox-> the little icon on the right with the

ab in it). Just insert one of these guys, size it to how
you need it, then set the following properties (right-
click on it then hit Properties):

1. EnterKeyBehavior set to True
2. MultiLine set to True
3. ScrollBars set to 2 - fmScrollBarsVertical

HTH!
