Stumped: Scrollbar disappearing when re-opening file

[bfreescott]

Hey guys,

I have a simple textbox (ActiveX control) on a sheet. I've set the Vertical Scrollbar property to true as well as Multiline. I've also gone through all the other properties of the textbox, but I cannot seem to determine what is causing the scrollbar to disappear when I close and reopen the file.

The scrollbar reappears if/when I click in the textbox, but I don't want to be forced to do that.

I will (if forced) use VBA, but would prefer not to.

Ideas?

so, after further research, it appears that there is no way to keep the scrollbars visible with a standard textbox like there is with a userform textbox.
