I haven't been able to find this answer in previous posts;
I have a form, with a subform that is displayed in datasheet view, and
one field "Item Description" could be from very few to many characters.
I would love to just show 2 inches, and have a scroll bar for viewing
the rest of the info.
I have my form property set to Default View: DataSheet, views:
Datasheet. My form is set to Scroll Bars: Vertical, but when I open it
I get both scroll bars, also.
I have my control set to visible, Scroll Bars: Vertical. I do not get
a scroll bar in the control, so I'm wondering if you can't have a
scroll bar in a datasheet, and maybe I should use a continuous form?
(I'll take opinions on using datasheet vs continuous forms, too. Being
new to forms, I don't know which to use)
Many thanks. I know this is simple; I'm sure I'll have a more
challenging question coming up!

Have you considered any other alternatives? One could be a fixed textbox
with scroll bars on the main form where you display a fuller version of the
text in the datasheet view. Each time you move to a different record on the
subform, the text is reloaded. Another possibility might be to double-click
the textbox to display a popup form showing the complete text, or as much as
you can, plus scrollbars.
Thanks. I will try the pop up - but I'm very inexperienced so it may
take a bit. Do you know the answer to my original question? CAN the
textbox have a scrollbar on a datasheet?

No, but you could try faking a datasheet view using textboxes on a form
view.

No, I don't believe there is any way to do this. You could try making the
form show as continous forms, which is a bit similar to a datasheet view -
then you can have scrollbars on your textbox.
If you need help with the popup bit, just let us know.
Thanks - Off I go! Appreciate the offer for help. I want to try it on
my own with Access Help and prior posts first.

Hi,
(Using Access 2000)
I have two tables, similar to Customers and Orders. (Not an exact

On a form showing customer data, there is a tab control. One of the

tab there is an unbound textbox (next to the datasheet). I placed a

hi folks,
I have embedded a datasheet as a subform and I want that
every time the datasheet is updated, the focus be set on
the last record and be visible for the user. that is like
simulating the users activation of the scrollbar, so that
the last record is visible.
got any idea?

Dear all,
Can one control the subform scrollbar through vba?
For example, I would like to make two command buttons on the main form to
control the subform scrollbar. Click 1st button the subform vertical
scrollbar goes down to the end, click 2nd button goes up to the top
position.
Thank you for your help,

greetings,
The listbox control on my aspx page has a vertical
scrollbar. But some of the text extends beyond the right
limit of the listbox. I don't see a horizontal scrollbar,
and I don't see any scrollbar properties in the property
sheet in vs2003. Would this be a styles item? If so, how
to invoke. If not, is it possible to invoke a horizontal
scrollbar? how to do that?

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
