Have you tried the scrollable container from Carlos Alloati?

It's part of VFPX and it's really good.

>I am using the scrollbars from MsComCtl.ocx in a container object and experiencing some odd behavior with them. I didn't find any threads with similar problems so I must be doing something wrong. The container needs to be removed, recreated and resized periodically. The routine that handles that sets lockscreen = .t. at the beginning and lockscreen = .f. at the end. Every other object in the container respects this setting except the scrollbars. When the form is maximized, you see the scroll bars flash on the screen as the new container is created but before they are resized to their final position. It's really annoying and spoils the look of an otherwise professional display.

That does stop the "flash" of the bars prior to resize of the container, but then the scrollbars NEVER appear. It seems that they must be visible when they are created or you'll never see them!

I never forget a face, but in your case I will make an exception :-)
