Scroll bars in subform text boxes

I have used scroll bars in text boxes with no problems. However, that has
now changed. I have a bound text box, one line of text in height, in which
the text usually fits on a single line, but every now and then it goes a bit
longer. I thought a scroll bar would allow for the occasional extra text,
but the scroll bar does not work. The text box is in a continuous subform
within a subform. It has no margins. What am I missing?

I believe the text box has to be a certain height before it will let you add
a scroll bar. Brag the box a little taller and then try.

That seems to be the case from what I have been able to discover so far.
Too bad there isn't some documentation about it. Thanks for the reply.
