Michael,
The ActiveX Forms Textbox control and the RTF ActiveX control supports horizontal scrollbars.
With the Textbox control try this:
this.text = "this is a test " + chr(13) + ;
"this is a test " + chr(13) + ;
"this is a test " + chr(13) + ;
"this is a test " + chr(13) + ;
"this is a test " + chr(13) + ;
"this is a test " + chr(13) + ;
"this is a test " + chr(13) + ;
"this is a test " + chr(13) + ;
"this is a test this is a test this is a test this is a test this is a test this is a test "
Set EnterKeyBehavior = .f.
MultiLine = .t.
ScrollBars = 3 - Both
WordWrap = .f.
>Edit box doesn't seem to have a horizontal scrolling in case if the line is too long . I am using non proportional font to keep the original text layout with the line width 132. Are the only alternatives to use the smaller font or "MODI memo mytable.mytext" after double-click on this box.
