memo field scroll bar problem

[milka]

I'm using Access 2002. I have a few memo fields on a form and have
just noticed that the memo field's vertical scroll bar disappears when
I change the left margin setting of the memo field - I changed it from
0cm to 0.1 cm. The scroll bar reappears when I set the margin back to
0cm. Has anyone else come across this and if so, is there a solution?

Thanks.

Milka.

Yes, Milka, this is a known bug that has been in Access for 6 years now and
remains unfixed. AFAIK, there is no solution.

As a workaround, you could place a white rectangle behind this text box
(Format | Send to Back in form design view). Make it a little larger than
the textbox. Set the text box's border to transparent. The rectangle then
looks like a margin around the text.

Thanks for the 'sneaky' workaround... I'll give it a go.
