PRB: Cannot Scroll Left in Form's Design View with Rulers On
'Article ID: Q90990

Creation Date: 26-OCT-1992

Revision Date: 19-SEP-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0

SYMPTOMS

Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

In a form's Design view, with both Microsoft Access and the form maximized, turning the rulers off and then selecting and dragging a control on a form to the left does not give expected results.

The control will not scroll left until the ruler is turned back on. You can, however, move and scroll by using the &quot;thumb&quot; (scroll bar box) manually. Turning the rulers off and selecting and dragging a control right widens the form.

CAUSE

Microsoft Access will scroll left if the edge of the form is encountered while dragging a control. With everything maximized, the control being dragged does not run into the edge of a form or window; it runs into the edge of the screen. The other edges have Microsoft Access objects (scroll bars or menu bars) so Microsoft Access is aware that the control is being dragged and will scroll accordingly.

STATUS

This behavior no longer occurs in Microsoft Access for Windows 95 version 7.0.
