Lanticans,

We're having problems moving the curser to 'scroll' to the bottom of heavily filled Multi-Line text boxes. The focus JUMPS unexpectantly to the next field as soon as the curser hits the last row (or the first row if scrolling up).

Even worse, we have a multi-line text box on a sub-form (in form view), and typing any character in the subform causes the form to scroll to top, pushing the curser out of view. Editing or adding data to this field is impossible.

If there is no fix in the near future, we will need a workaround. The F-6 Editor may work if it can be called with programming and used with subforms.

Let me know what you think.

ps. A scroll bar in a multi-line text box may solve this issue, and be a great convenience.

Thanks,
Steve

Ray,

Do to space limitations on the form, the multi-line box only shows about 10 lines. The text that goes in the box fills about 200+ lines so the user has to hold the curser key for while to get to the bottom of the field. This means they have to let off the key at precisely the right time.... hard to do. (if they go to far, they have to start over again from the top)

I'll send you my ap with the subform scrolling issue. It is the SUBFORM that scrolls to the top as each character is pressed.

Your 2 programming suggestions may do the trick if another solution is not in the works.

Thanks!

Steve

I made the subform large so I could make use of the scroll bar.

I'll look into your suggestions this weekend.

Thanks for your help.

Steve
