I have a vb5 app to track sales to a local access database. The user enters the sales information into a scrollable form. The form is longer then what appears on the screen. How I did it was to create a picfield and put all of the database fields in the picfield and I use the scroll bar to move the picfield up and down.<br><br>My problem is when I changed the app to use an ODBC database the data no longer appears in the text boxes. The database is connecting. If I create a normal form without the textboxes in a scrollable picfield the data appears. I am hoping not to break the form up into smaller forms, because we all know how users are, you don't display something they won't enter into it.<br><br>Any help would be appreciated.

Don't know much about scrollable picboxes - I would use Tabs to solve that. And then I wouldn't let them exit without filling in all the bits that are needed.<br><br>Mike <p>Mike Lacey<br><a href=mailto:Mike_Lacey@Cargill.Com>Mike_Lacey@Cargill.Com</a><br><a href= Cargill's Corporate Web Site</a><br>
