    memo box with scroll bars


    when you make a field a memo, so you get 65,000 characters, is it possible to show the scroll bars off to the right side.

    The scroll bar will automatically appear after you exceed the prescribed vertical typing area. Are you saying you want that vertical scroll bar to always be visible regardless of whether you are exceeding the defined typing area?

    If it's a SHORT TEXT field you may have to add the scroll bar, I was assuming you were using a LONG TEXT field.

    If you're using short text go to the properties of the text box and look for SCROLL BARS, there should be an option in there for VERTICAL.
