Records in form scroll out of view

[Marty Suckstorff]

This may be something simple, but I am having trouble when
I enter records in a continuous rows form. The form only
displays the top row as I enter the information, and the
previous rows scroll out of view.

When I use the wizard to design a simple form everything
works as expected. New rows are added to the bottome of
the screen and the list expands. My problem The problem
seems to crop up when I compute fields within the record
or add any VB code to manipulate the row information.
This is important to figure out, so any help will be
apprciated very much!

Are you showing the form in dialog/popup format? If so, this is a typical
behavior. One way to get around it is to not use popup/dialog mode. Another
way is to put a subform on the form, and use the subform to display the
continuous forms view data. That way you can select the height of the area
(and thus the number of rows).

Check to be sure that the DataEntry property of the form is False.
