How can I get rid of the scroll bar on the multiple line text boxes?...I have forms on my intranet which use these to be able to type information out, but when it prints, I get half of my end letter cut off... Regards,

You want it to appear as a textbox on screen but print out in plain text (no textbox element attributes?) Kevin

Try adding [red]style="overflow:visible;"[/red] to your textarea tags. This should work in IE...
 
Or you could leave the textares alone for screen display, but put the following code in your stylesheet so that when you print it will do what aperfectcircle just mentioned.
Code:
<STYLE...>
   @media print {
      textarea {overflow:visible;}
   }
</STYLE>
Then your textareas will appear small on the form on the screen, but print without cutting anything off. Kevin
