Question

Microsoft Messenger 8,0 delays to have access.

Answer 1

Access 2007: How can I use a vertical scroll bar (such as Microsoft Forms 2.0 ScrollBar) to scroll up and down 2 unbound textboxes?
I have 2 unbound textboxes on my form and I can have my vertical scroll bar when I modify the scroll bar propertity. However, I need to have one common shared scroll bar to control those 2 textboxes at the same time.
The need is when I scroll up and down the common shared scroll bar the content in these 2 textboxes will be moving up and down at the same time.
Does any of you know how to do that? Thanks.
Since you say that your purpose is to visually compare the text box contents, I wonder if you've considered the possibility that the text boxes might not be synchronizable via scrolling at all, due to differences in the number of lines in the text boxes. 
After all, the mapping of the scroll bar's "thumb" to a position in the control is based on the number of lines in the control.  If one of your text boxes has, say, 2 lines in it, and the other has 100, then scrolling the first text box one
unit might scroll the second text box all the way to the end.  Or, if scrolling the first text box to the bottom only moves the second text box down by a line, then you'd be unable to scroll that second text box to the bottom. How would you want the text
boxes and scroll bar to behave when one text box has more lines than the other?
