I have a scrolling window, long and narrow, which scrolls both vert & horz. The horz scroll is because I want to use an EDIT FIELD which is wider than the window. I am putting EF's in the window because I need to allow the user to click on an EDIT FIELD and capture the EF id. When I put in the EF's they cover the right scroll area with the current highlight color. Clicking in the scroll window does not help. Clicking on the scroll button or the arrow makes the overwrite go away, but it doesn't look very good. Anybody have a technique to avoid or a fix for this? TIA Roger M.
