Textbox Glitch/Known Error?

[Daniel Pineault]

I have been fighting for a few weeks with one form, well one text box in
particular. I couldn't get it to display the vertical scrollbar.

Today, I finally decided to try another approach and inserted a new textbox,
set the scrollbar property to vertical et voila (as they say). The bloody
scrollbar appeared. I then went through each property one by one changing
the value, previewing the effect.... after a short while I ended up finding
that if I set any of the Margin values to anything other than 0" my scrollbar
would not be displayed??????! Why?

Is this a known issue? Is there a fix which permits margins being specified
while still displaying the scrollbar?

One miffed developer.

I should have mentioned that I am using access 2003 (fully
patched/updated......)

This is a known issue. You really should learn how to use GoogleGroups,
search the MS KB, etc.. A good developer requires these tools in their
arsenal.

Stephen,

I use Google groups every day. The only post I found on the subject
involved you and there was no solution provided.

http://groups.google.ca/group/micro...box+not+displaying+scrollbar#f63dbc3e6cdd2c19

Furthermore, a search of the MS KB for 'access text box scrollbar' provide
12 articles, none of which even remotely cover the question? I am still at a
loss and therefore the question. I don't ask too many questions, I'm a
little surprised by the response I must say.

As such my question still stand, is there a fix - beside removing the margins?

Thanking you for your help,

Daniel Pineault

Geeze Daniel, I certainly did not intend for my post to come across as rude.
Short, yes, but not rude.

I did not post a workaround, pointer to a Bugfix, etc. because there is no
solution to this issue other than resetting the Margin props to "0".

Sorry Stephen! That's the problem with text, you don't get the sentiment
with the words.

I had hoped some fix had been found since your post back in 2005. Thank you
for your definitive answer to the question, I will stop fighting Access on
this one.

I truly appreciate the help. You have helped me numerous times in the past
and I can't thank you enough!!!!
