I am seeking advice on why a horizontal-scrollbar (hsb) on a single-row datawindow object does not function.
The datawindow object is long with a width of 9600 because it needs to display over forty columns of data converted to text from a spreadsheet.
The width of the datawindow is 3800.
When run, the length of hsb is about two-thirds of the datawindow's length, but when slid to the far right with the intention to scroll thought the data, the data in the datawindow object shifts only by about a half-a-charcter-width or virtually not at all.
However, if I shift the hsb to the far right and then click in another application, say a Word document that is currently running, the scroll-bar then takes effect and the data immediately scrolls to the end.
