>>Very interesting bug I have run across. Everything works fine in my native 1024x768 resolution. But I have a form with a .jpg on it that is pretty large. It makes my form come out to over 1000 pixels tall. I have scroll bars on my form of course to get around and have written code to scroll to the text box that has focus.
>>My problem shows up when I am at 640x480 and 800x600 resolution. If you run the form at these resolutions, it loses the scroll bars. I see the scroll bars in development but VFP only allows me to make the hieght a max of approx 933 pixels. And like I said even though you can see the scroll bars in development, they disappear when you run the form. This only happens if you have a control that is beyond the 933 pixels or so.
>>I am at a loss as to fixing this. Does anyone know a work around or a fix to this bug? And if you know why VFP acts this way, please let me know!

>That appears to be a vfp limitation, don't know that it's actually a bug. I'm not sure there's any good fix...you could try changing your design resolution temporarily to 640x480 to develop this, then you'd know it would work at all resolutions, at least...

I found the bug or limitation by doing my development in 640x480. As I said previously but possibly not clearly that it works fine at 1024x768 meaning VFP doesn't seem to have the limitation at this resolution. Therefore making it look like a bug unless VFP has different limitations depending on what resolution you are running. Thanks for the reply!
