Fred,

Thanks for your response. I am experiencing this in the development environment. This edit control is on the 2nd page of a pageframe. When I switch from page 1 to page 2 I run a method which builds the contents to display in the edit box. The edit control does not have a control source.
As I said the first time I activate page 2 the scroll bars are visible. After the first time the scroll bars do not appear.

Thanks again.
