I have a text box that will be populated by data, sometimes to long for the form and I wanted to add a vertical scroll bar to it, but I'm not sure how to link them together. I can place it on the form but it doesn't work the textbox. Any tutorials out there for this
Thanks

I wouldn't suggest going about it that way. You can add a textbox to the form, and set it's "multiline" property to true. Then go to the "scrollbars" property, and choose if you want vertical, horizontal, or both. They will only be active when the data goes beyond the textbox, and basically works as you would expect.
