    Scroll Bars on Tabbed Form Not Appearing

    I have a tabbed form with several subforms on various tabs. Since we have users with different monitor sizes and/or screen resolution, the scroll bars are needed on all tabs and the main form. I have all forms and subforms and well as the main form showing both scroll bars in the properties, however, the scroll bars only appear on one of the tabs. This tab has a continuous form where the others have single forms. Is there some other form property I'm missing that is not allowing the scroll bars to show? Thank you.

    If I recall correctly, the scroll bars won't show unless they need to, so if the whole form or tab will fit on the screen, you don't see the scroll bars.

    Also, don't have horizontal scroll bars on subforms. Show all the fields (if possible) and set the control to the correct width. If their screen isn't wide enough they will use the scroll bars of the main form. It makes it very confusing.

    Thank you! I realized after your response that they're there, but I can't see them since I have a bigger screen and everything is visible without scrolling. Duh. Long week already. Thanks again.
