    How do I always show the scroll bars on subform?

    I have a form that has a subform that is in data sheet view. I would like it to always show the vertical scroll bars even if they aren't needed, in which case they would be grayed out but still visible. Currently, I have it set to be Vertical only which does work when they are needed, but I want it to always be visible.

    Hello.
    By right-mouse-clicking IN the form you want to change something on (while opened, go to from properties. (not just properties). The option is there

        I don't believe that option is available Seth. There are only four options available, none of which indicates it pertains to showing scroll bars when space is adequate to show the contents.

          Okay. I've seen websites do it so I wondered if Access could. Oh well. Thanks.

            Many things are possible Seth. It may even be possible to handle it in Access, but normal Office coding uses pre-defined controls made available to you. We are therefore constrained by the limits of those controls unless we can find alternatives to use that do what we require more precisely. Typically though, we use the standard controls available, and everyone benefits from being familiar with those controls.
