Adding Scrollbar to frames and Subforms

Hi,
I have a main form that needs several split windows. Which control should I use to create those split windows that will provide me with the scrollbar function? Each split window needs its own scrollbars. Right now, I have two frames (each frame has several textboxes) because there are so many textboxes, I'll need the scrollbars in those frames for the user to scroll up and down. Does frame support the scrollbar? What else can I use then? Same with the subform, it will be displaying a datasheet. How can I add a scrollbar? I've checked the properties of the subform, and cannot find the scrollbar property anywhere. Please help!!
thanks
 
Hi,

Subform controls does have scrollbar properties. Just click the square in the top left of the subform to select the actual form itself.

You should use subforms instead of frames also, so that you can use scroll bars for each 'window'.

Good luck.

Dean :)
