Long Form textbox, entering data sends you to the top

Hi all,

I have a textbox that is long enough to extend from the top of the form
beyond the screen's visible bottom, thus you need to scroll the main form
down to see the bottom of it. If I have existing test that extends to the
bottom area of the textbox (so that I need to scroll the main form down to
view it) any attempt to add aditional text to that textbox will cause the
form to jump up to the top line of that textbox and the user can not see what
they are typing. They can type blindly, then scroll down to see what they
entered, but this is not too efficient. Also I really need to keep this a
single textbox, not add multiple controls. Any ideas how to keep it from
jumping to the top of the form?

Access 2000 (fully patched)
Standard textbox control linked to a memo field.
Textbox has scroll bars disabled (though tried without)
Form allows scrolling both vertically and horizontally.


Thanks
