vertical scroll bar on subform not visible when form opens

I have a subform on a form, set for datasheet. When you open the form,
there is no vertical scroll bar on the subform. The records on the subform
definately extend below the bottom of the subform.

You can get the vertical scroll bar to appear by clicking on the last
visible record on the subform.

It seems the scroll bar setting for the subform has no effect. Whether it's
set to Neither, Horizontal only, vertical only, or both, the behavior is the
same: There is only a horizontal scroll bar when the form is opened. The
vertical scroll bar will only show itself once the bottom-most visible
record is clicked on. Clicking elsewhere in the subform will not cause the
vertical scroll bar to show.

If I open the subform by itself, the scroll bars seem to work fine. I've
seen other posts describing this, but never any solutions.

TIA,
John
 
this is actualy design behaviour as far as I know, offcourse you could cheat
a little by setting the focus to the subform on opening the main form

Is it possible that the width of the subform control itself is too narrow?
If you use the horizontal scroll bar and move the view to the left so that
you can see the right side of the subform, does the vertical scroll bar then
appear?
