Hi,

I have a subform, which has been set with the scrollbars property to 'Vertical Only' , however, all that appears is the horizontal scroll bar?

I've tried 'Both' also , the only way I can get the scroll bar to appear is by using the cursor key to move down through the records and when it gets to the bottom record only then does the right hand vertical scroll bar appear?

Why has this started happening, it worked fine on Friday?

Is your subform smaller or larger than the subform control on your master form?
 
Larger.

If I add an event 'on current' and put
Code:
Me.ScrollBars = 2

then the scrollbar appear only if i move record within the subform.

But then the scroll bar doesn't work?

What is going on?

I gave up , MSA2010 drives me mad with its constant corruption and funkyness, MSA2003 was a dream to work with in comparison!

I deleted all todays work, loaded Fridays forms and it's working fine.

I've had to remember all coded changes and re-apply them, no doubt i've missed something as well as having wasted a day!

I finally traced the bug, well I assume it's a bug, perhaps MS call it a feature.

As soon as I add an 'Order By' the scroll bar disappears?
