Can't get "Vertical Only" to show on form

[GraeagleBill]

Below are the Format properties for a form I have where I need the vertical scroll bar. I open the form thus: DoCmd.OpenForm "frmSettings", , , , , acDialog





I temporarily negated the OnLoad code to see if that made a difference, but the vertical bar still fails to appear. (The OnLoad is the only Event for this form)
Anything obvious this Old Geezer just doesn't see

Are there other drives not shown? If those are all the drives, the gray bar may be the scroll bar.

I don't know where that picture came from? I only downloaded the screenshot of the Format Properties. If I edit the OP it does not show.

If you go into the advanced area, 2 attachments show with the same name.

Vertical scrollbar will only show if it is needed - so would be better to show a screenshot of the form to illustrate your issue

On my desktop with large monitor I get the full form. On a laptop the form is essentially truncated at the blue line.

Well, just for S's and G's I'd see what happens if it's not opened as acDialog...

[GraeagleBill]

DoCmd.OpenForm "frmSettings" ', , , , , acDialog

Good guess! Form opens on laptop with vertical scroll bar enabled, suppressed on desktop where not needed. Not sure if any other arguments with OpenForm would also have an affect were the acDialog were to remain.

[Micron]

So you're saying acDialog was the issue?

[GraeagleBill]

Yes, it seems so. As you can see, all I did was comment out the argument string, compile and go.

Thanks for the good guess

Glad I could help, even if in some small way. I think I will reward myself with a Moosehead.

I suspect it is to do with form height- if it is taller than the monitor it will just disappear off the bottom of the screen
