Thanks for the reply Mark,

After reintalling SP1 -> I did reboot,recompile, and after following your advice, I found the VFP 7 runntime files I had loaded up there were older than the ones on my harddrive. I updated them, and now the scroll bars are there! Thanks again!

>>I originally downloaded and installed VFP 7.0 and SP1 from a Microsoft MSDN subscription. I have built many forms using the VFP EditBox control and have just distributed my app. In the development environtment, the vertical scroll bars are there on the editbox, but in the compiled .EXE version, the scrollbars are not there at all. The Microsoft knowledge base says the fix for this problem is to install VFP Service Pack 1. I already did that way back, but I went ahead and reinstalled SP1 anyway. Still no scroll bars. Any more ideas... Please???
