Has anyone ever heard of having the verical scroll bar 'disappear' at run time for a form… ?
I have several forms that I have designed, some with multiple edit tables, and the vertical scroll bars appear in form design mode, but not at run time… . I have tried deleting the controls, adding them back, adding to new forms, etc… without any luck.
Any ideas anyone? OI 3.61 developing on Win95 single user at this time.
Thanks.

Gene,
Are you seeing a white space where the scroll bars were in design time? Will the scroll bars appear when you have more lines than can be viewed at once? If you answer "yes" to both then this is actually normal behavour.
If you want vertical scroll bars to always be visible then you have to micro-manage your edittables so that there is always enough blank lines to force their display. If you don't mind the missing scroll bars then you can set one of your columns (usually the far right one) to be autosized. This will cause the white space to be filled in when the scroll bars are missing. Look up the AUTOSIZECOL property for details.

Don,
You saved me about a bottle of Excedrine.
The answer was absolutely 'Yes' to both questions. I can't thank you enough for your quick response…! I was getting ready to start over with the development I had done with a number of forms… .
Rather than micro manage the scroll behavior, I am going to work with and deploy as delivered (KISS principle).
I certainly hope I can return the favor someday… .
Thanks again for your help.
