SubForm Scroll Bar

[jamphan]

I have a subform on my main form that uses a query to display the information. On the query and subform there is a discussion field. I would like to put a scroll bar on this field so the user can scroll through the text since it could possibly be large but the scroll bar function does not work on this field. I have tried setting the scroll bar feature in properties for the sub form field but it will not put it on this field. Any ideas????

There is an auto scroll bar in memo (or large text) fields, but it only shows if/when needed. I.e. if there is more data contained within the field than beeing displayed.

That's correct, however in this subform field which populates from query results the scroll bar does not activate. In this box there are about 10 lines that do not show.

Have you tried deleting the control from the form and then replacing it again? I sometimes have to do this with fields that I have changed within tables but do not update within forms. Only an idea...

Tried that but to no avail. It just seems to be on the subform where the scoll bar function does not seem to work. Is there a setting I need to adjust to get this?

Does the scrollbar appear once you click into the memo field?

On the mainform memo field it does appear, however in the subform field it does not.
