form not moveable

Question

I have several forms that do two main things. One set is used to add/edit information. Those are able to be scrolled through no problem. However, ones in which are search forms you are unable to scroll through. I have one add/edit form that is unable to scroll through even though when I compare the properties it should be able to be scrolled through. 

Anyone know of something I could be missing? 

Thanks!

Answer 1

Make the form smaller or set it to maximize on open. This will ensure display of the scroll bar. However, the scroll bar only allows scrolling within the form, not within the records. I don't see navigation buttons in your screen shot to allow cycling through records.

Answer 2

I have a form that is larger than the screen and in the other forms I am able to scroll using the wheel. However, for some reason in this one I am not. I have to use the mouse to manually click on the scroll bar on the right. I have the property set up for a vertical only scroll bar, however, when I run the Form View it is not there. As you can see if the photos attached the scroll feature is present in one and not the other but the properties are the same.

Answer 3

Please define what you mean by "scroll through"? The term scroll usually refers to records in a continuous form or the view different parts of a form. It sounds like you mean Cycle through the records. 

What properties are you inspecting? Search forms are often unbound. Since an unbound form has no Recordsource, it makes sense that you can't cycle through records.

Check the form's Cycle property under the "Other" tab in the properties sheet. Make sure it is set to All Records.
