Vertical Scroll Bar Missing on Form

Question

A form shoud have a vertical scroll bar on it but it is not coming up.  The property is set to "Both".  No matter what I do, I can't get it to come back up.  The form has a tab on it with subs in each tab.  There is nothing funky about the form.  Why could this be happening?  Besides the obvious properties to check, what other properties should I check?  It isn't a pop up.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I found the same problem with a form I had designed.  I found that all of the objects were located in the "Form Header" with nothing in the "Detail" section.  As an experiment, I moved everything to the "Detail" section and what do you know; the vertical scroll bar appeared!

NOTE: I did need to reset the events to the VB code to the controls with Events, seems they are reset to nothing when moving them from "Form Header to "Detail".  It worked out OK just select the event procedure lost, click the "..." button and it reattached to the VB code.

Lots of Luck

Hi

I had the problem in a subform.

But after requering the subform-control on load, the vertical scroll-bar is shown.

Hmmm, then lets try this to make sure it's just those forms and not an issue with corruption.  Create a new form, put nothing on it and set the Scroll Bar property to Both and see if they appear or even a place holder for them appear.

The scroll bar property set to Yes is the main form, the form the tab is sitting on.  (There are Scroll Bar properties for the tab, the tab pages or the sub control.  There is one for the actual subforms on the tab, and they are set to "Both".)

Yes, there is something to scroll to.

The Border Style is set to Sizable.

Thanks,

Matt

Answer 5

Hmm, which one has the Scroll Bar property set to Yes, the form the tabs are sitting on or the forms sitting on the tabs?  Also, is there anything to scroll to?  Sometimes if there is nothing to scroll to then they don't show until there is enough records.

And yet another thought... what is the Border Style of your form set to?
