I disagree. Its not a foxpro bug. The documentation is pretty clear that the scrollbars are determined when the form loads. By the time the form init comes around its too late. You MUST have an object on the form that in IT's init puts itself just above the bottom edge of the form. And I have found that pageframes or something similar is almost always better than scrollbars. This being said, I have lots of forms with scrollbars, and they work fine, but I have an object that is part of the class that makes sure its placed just above the bottom edge of the form which happens early enough to make the scrollbars work.
