PRB: No Scroll Bars If Window Is Larger Than Form
'Article ID: Q95914

Creation Date: 01-MAR-1993

Revision Date: 01-DEC-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 7.0, 97

SYMPTOMS

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

If you create a form and set the form's ScrollBars property to display scroll bars, you may not see the scroll bars when you switch to Form view.

CAUSE

If you design the detail section of a form so that all the controls fit within the form, Microsoft Access will not display the scroll bars. However, Microsoft Access will display the scroll bars if you size the Form window so that it is smaller than the detail section.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

The purpose of the scroll bars is to enable you to view parts of the form that are sometimes not visible if the Form window is too small. You cannot scroll down to the next record with scroll bars; you can only do that with record selectors.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior


 * 1) Open a form based on a table or query in Design view and display the property sheet.
 * 2) Set the DefaultView property for the form to Single Form.
 * 3) Set the ScrollBars property to Both.
 * 4) View the form in Form view.
 * 5) Size the Form window so that all of the controls and fields are visible. The scroll bars should not be visible at this point.
 * 6) Size the form so that you cannot see all of the controls and fields. The scroll bars should now be visible.
 * }
