Mysterious Spinner Controls
So I made a subform, and the controls that I would normally assume would be
textboxes have spinner buttons in them. I want them to be regular textboxes. I can't find any info in the built in help about spinner controls. Anybody got any info on how to convert a spinner control to a regular text box?

Hey, that's a neat trick. Wouldn't it just be easier to create some new
regular text boxes? Jeanette Cunningham "markmarko" wrote in message ... So I made a subform, and the controls that I would normally assume would be textboxes have spinner buttons in them.

Ummm, it's not a trick! I selected the Subform tool from the ribbon, made the
subform which triggered the wizard. Then once done, all the text boxes have spinners. I could redo them all manually, but I wonder why the wizard would make stuff that isn't what I want, and I have to manually redo the whole thing. I'd much rather set some property of the controls to "not spinner" but as far as Help tells me, Access doesn't even have spinners.

Are you sure that they are spinner controls? The scroll arrows in a textbox
look similar to the arrows of a spinner control; is it that the textboxes have the Scroll Bars property set to vertical? HTH, Rob "markmarko" wrote in message ...

Ahh, that did it. Yep, they were tiny scroll buttons, not spinners. Thanks
for the tip.
