    Exclamation Scroll bar Issue

    I'm having two issues with scroll bars.

    I've Main Form (frmMain) which is just showing two combo boxes to filter results of the sub form. In the main form (frmMain), I've continuous sub form (fsubSchool).
    In sub form (fsubSchool), records are showing as Tabular form.

    Scroll bars are active on both forms (frmMain & fsubSchool)

    Ok the issue is that, When I'm on the main form, and I move through records of the sub form, the horizontal and vertical scroll bar of the main for does not move accordingly. Due to this when I move through records of the sub form using Tab key on keyboard, I've to manually scroll through horizontal bar to see on which record i'm currently on.

    2nd issue is that, the scroll bars movement (scrolling) is not so accurate, how to make it real that it should only appear when it's needed & should scroll smoothly.

    I hope you got my point.



    please guide me how to fix both issues.
    waiting anxiously for kind help

    If you are on main form how could you move through records of subform? The main form scroll bars have nothing to do with the subform records. Sounds like you don't even need the main form scroll bars on. I don't understand this: "Due to this when I move through records of the sub form using Tab key on keyboard, I've to manually scroll through horizontal bar to see on which record i'm currently on."

    Do you want to provide project for analysis?

    Thanks for your reply.
    I was still working on it & right before 10 minutes, I figured out what's was going out there.
    you are right that I don't need the main form scroll bar.
    Actually, in design view, I completely showed (expanded) my sub form in the main form. that's why there was no scroll bar in the sub form. And now I shrinked it so it has scroll bars in sub form & then I came to the main form, & I found scrolling through tabs & it moves to the active record horizontally whether scroll bars of the main form are active or not.
    Anyhow, thanks a lot for your kind reply.
    Now, I'm looking for alternatives, if I didn't found, I'll come back here to get some ideas/help.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
