 Scrollbars on MDI Child Form

Need Help!

I've been unable to produce scroll bars on my MDI Child Form, I've
tried adding "Scrollbars = True" to the MDI Form, "Scrollbars = 1"
and "Scrollbars = 2" to the Child Form and nothing has worked. The
MDI Form has a Picture Box at the bottom of the screen with tools in
it and the Child Form is designed longer then the MDI Form.

Any ideas would be appriciated.

Thanks alter.

If the child form is longer than the parent, the parent will have
scroll bars added when you run the app.

From the VB 3.0 Help file:

Scroll bars appear on an object only if its contents extend beyond the
object's borders.  For example, in an MDI form, if part of a child
form is hidden behind the border of the parent MDI form, a horizontal
scroll bar appears.  Similarly, a vertical scroll bar appears on a
grid control when it can't display all of its rows; a vertical scroll
bar appears on a text box when it can't display all of its lines of
text.  If ScrollBars is set to False, the object will not have scroll
bars, regardless of its contents.
