    What is needed to make a window with lots of text have a scroll bar ?

    Hi,


    Access 2010
    I have a field called notes, its data Type is memo.
    I have text in it but cannot see top of text, and no means of scrolling the window on the form.
    Went to design view gave it changed scroll none to scroll vertical in its property sheet for the 'window' but it doesnt add such after exiting design view.

    Cannot replicate issue. I get scroll bar for memo and text fields.

    I usually make textbox at least 2 lines tall.

    Scroll bar shows when textbox has focus.

    The scrollbar will only appear when you click on the textbox
