Datasheet view scroll bars

Hi all

I have a form which displays data in a spreadsheet format. I had designed
this as a continuous form so I could have headers and footers with buttons,
and column headings formatted. It all worked ok until I wanted to 'freeze'
the first column so when you scroll horizontally you always see that field
displayed on screen.

I searched the newsgroups and google and finally settled on a main form with
the headers and footers for my buttons and a subform as a datasheet for the
actual data. The only problem I keep having is losing the vertical scroll bar
- is this a fault or am I not laying things out properly?

The vertical scroll bar will only appear when it's needed (i.e. there are
more records than can appear in the subform control).
 
Thanks Joan, there are more records than can fit on subform therefore scroll
bar IS needed - but not shown (sometimes!). I've decided to forgo the 'freeze
column' function and reverted back to a continuous form view as it looks so
much better. Shame you can't freeze columns in this view :-(
