  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 3.0
  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 3.0b
This article was previously published under Q147572

SYMPTOMS

Scrollbars on a grid object are visible but disabled even though there are enough records in the table to expect working scrollbars.

CAUSE

The ColumnCount property of the grid object has been set to a number greater than -1 in design mode and the RecordSource property has been left empty.

WORKAROUND

Leave the ColumnCount property value at -1 and set it programmatically once the form has been instantiated.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem has been fixed in Visual FoxPro 5.0 for Windows.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

      ThisForm.Grid1.RecordSource = "customer"
