Kevin,
It's actually both. :-(

MS says in the article that VFP forms are designed to scroll to approximately twice the height and width of your screens resolution. The bug is that the scrollbars disappear. However, even if that bug were fixed and the scollbars didn't disappear, you wouldn't be allowed to scroll to anything beyond the 2x limitation coordinates.

The only suggestion I have is to create a pageless pageframe and write your own scrolling controls. You can chage the viewport programmatically using the SetViewPort method of the form. Once you scroll to the bottom, you can programatically change the ActivePage of the pageframe and reset view port to be at the top.

HTH.
