Unbound Forms

I currently have a Access ADP that I am using unbound forms with ADO Recordsets for all of my user interfaces. In several instances I have the forms set up like a continuous form and it works great.

As usual, I want it to work better. The only thing that is lacking is the use of a scroll bar. Currently I am using buttons on the bottom of the form to scroll the records up and down, which is not real efficient. Is there a way to add a scroll bar to this and create the functionality of a regular scroll bar

Thanks

Dennis,

I have found that splitting up the form into two forms is the best solution.
Take your existing form and set it up to appear as a list box (eg. no
border, no buttons, only a set of column headers.) make sure you enable the
vertical scroll bar I call this my selector form. Create another form which
I will call the editor (this will be the main form that you call from your
application) and insert the selector form.

Also I have found that bound forms in general peform much better then in the
Unbound mode.

Regards,
Dan
