Scrolling jumps to text box with focus, why?

Hi All,

I've noticed that in a lot of my forms and tables, when I'm on
continuous view, I can't scroll when the focus is in a field or on a
control.

Meaning, if I have a list, and start scrolling, it always jumps back
to the focus the second the scrolling is done.

While I like this in some cases, it can get to be annoying. I try to
set my events so that I reset my focus to the record or to a control
in the header or footer. But, I don't know how to tell all my end
users to "select a record" or "use the scroll icons".

Is this "scrolling jump back to focus" thing a setting anywhere? I
believe I'm on Access 2003.

Thanks,

Jon

No, there is no such setting.

Threads, textboxes and scrolling Thanks in advance for any information on this matter. I have run into a small richtextbox, scrolling and tread issue. Which has me totally confused. Instead of trying to explain it I wrote some small C# code to demonstrate the fact that in the threaded version the textbox simple doesn't scroll like it should… please look to the startButton_Click method for the distinction between the two programs..

I have a textbox that i am adding to (in codebehind of ASP.NET) and need to ensure that the focus is scrolled to the bottom of the textbox each time the page refreshes, and then set focus to a 2nd textbox (which the user types input into). I have tried a couple functions I found posted online but they don't work (see below) The closest I got was using the scrolldown method:
