Disappearing codes and other weirdness

[Judy Grimes]

I have a database with 2 forms in it that have had lines
of code in their event procedures disappear. In both
cases, it was one line in the procedure, and in both cases
it was an If...Then statement. A blank line was left in
the code where the line was. A compile error occurred when
the procedure was run, that is how the missing code was
discovered. This was a tested procedure, the line was
there.

I would suspect mischief if I wasn't the only one with
access to this code. Anyone know any reason why this
happened? (Windows 98, Access 97)

I also have one form (the others work fine) that won't let
me put a vertical only scroll bar on it. I can put both
scroll bars or neither, but not one. This form has an
Active X control on it. Could that be the reason? Any idea?

I doubt this is related to the vertical scroll bar problem, but I discovered
a strange behavior in Access 2002. If I set a textbox or memo box to use a
vertical scroll bar, and also set the Left Margin to something other than
zero, the vertical scroll bar will not appear. I like to set a left margin
to keep the edge of the box looking so crowded by the text. But that
prevents the vertical scroll bar from working. perhaps there is some
seemingly insignificant property you've set that is causing the same
behavior on your form (?).
