How to set a margin in a textbox without messing up the scrollbar?

[Mark]

Hi

I would like to set the margins in a text box whilst retaining the ability
to display the verical scrollbar (in a continuous form in Access XP). I feel
that text controls with the text butted right up to the left side of the
control look sloppy.

In my previous post "Scroll bar not showing in a text box on a continuous
form" Peter Hibbs pointed out that there is a bug in Access where, if the
left margin is >0 the scrollbar doesn't show.

Anyone know a fix or workarround to this problem?

Many thanks

Mark

Do what some did before margins were available. A TextBox with transparent
background and borders set on top of a white rectangle with visible borders.

I was trying to avoid that but you're absolutely right, it's probably the
best option without upgrading to Acces 2007.
