asked on 

On an access 2007 form with a text box with text larger than the vertical boundry of box, how do I save the position of the text box so that it doesn't snap back to top of the vertical scroll bar

Hello, I have a database form with a text box that contains a large paragraph memo field which typically exceeds the bounds of the text box.  Is there a way so that if I have scrolled partway through the text box that this position is retained should I click on another form element?  That is to say, is there a way to avoid the default form behavior that 'snaps' the vertical scrolll bar to the topmost position after scrolling through this memo field?

Thanks,

The question posted never mentioned about clicking on the text box, just scrolling the vertical bar. That is why I said it is not possible.

Wow, what an all star expert responses from Capricorn, Nick, and Jeff!  I think I have enough information now to tinker with the design and fix the problem so I'll close the question now and award points to you all.

Thanks again for all the thoughtful comments,
