List box won't scroll

[Carol Grismore]

It's just that easy. A simple, short list box has a vertical scroll bar but
simply does not scroll. I feel like I missed an update or something. TIA!

in design mode of the form

right click on the list box - to go to Properties

and in this list check out 'Locked'

any other properties that could be related should be reviewed also....

of course the column that this box is based upon does indeed have multiple
records - right?

WISH it was that easy. It also has the "count the list" trick in the form
load event that everyone recommends using. You can select the first item and
hit the "down" arrow to scroll, and it'll scroll -- but (strangely enough)
users find that incredibly annoying, especially when there's a nice friendly
scroll bar right there. I'm continuing to check all the properties, but so
far no brillliance. Thanks!

well - consider a sanity check in deleting the box entirely and creating a
new one

another sanity check is to try a list box based upon a different table/query
field...just to see if you can get any scroll bar working....

have never seen this exact problem. I find the scroll to be too rubbery
where you have to constantly slide down repeatedly to move things -
especially if the available vertical space is limited...works better if it is
bigger...and so prefer typing in the value where it will jump to the nearest
and then only scrolling to fine tune at the end....
