Vertical Scrollbar in Datasheet View

[Guest]

Access 2003 - I have a memo field in a subform. The subform has two fields:
Date (a short date field) and Status (a memo field). Since the Status field
is in memo format and could contain significant amount of data, I would like
for the Status field to contain a vertical scrollbar. I have enabled
scrollbar to vertical, margins are at 0, textbox is enabled, etc. I have had
other Access users at work take a look at it and we are all baffled as to why
I cannot get a vertical scrollbar for the Status field. After searching the
web and looking at responses here, I have come to the conclusion that it is
not possible to have a vertical scrollbar in a memo textbox on a subform.
Does anyone have any suggestions for this? By the way, when I change the
subform to Form View, the vertical scrollbar appears in the memo field as
desired.

The scrollbar will not show in Datasheet view, but it will if you change the
DefaultView of your subform to:
Continuous Form

Of course, the control has to have focus for the scrollbar to appear.
