    Scroll Bars

    I have a master form with two sub forms.



    The scroll bar property of the two sub forms is identical, it is set to "both" but one sub form shows a vertical and horizontal scroll bar, and the other sub form shows only has a horizontal scroll bar??

    There is enough vertical/horizontal data so each form should be showing both scroll bars.

    scroll bars will not show up by default if there is not content that is beyond the viewable window.

    for example, if you have a form that is 5" high and only 5 records that can be displayed, more than likely the vertical bar will not appear because there is no need for it. I believe the property just means that they are 'available when needed'.

    Went to grab a ss for you and wanted it to "look good" so I adjusted a column and the vertical scroll bar "popped" in - guess it's fixed. Sorry for the time you had to take with this.

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