Q146033: XCLN: Horizontal Scroll bar in EFD May Cover Text Box

SUMMARY
=======

When using a RichEntry Text box in a form created using Microsoft Exchange
EForms Designer, the horizontal scroll bar may cover up the text box if the text
is longer than the length of the text box.

MORE INFORMATION
================

This problem will only show up when the RichEntry Text box in the EForm is not
multi-line and its width has not been increased from the default width when the
EForm was created. This can be fixed by modifying the width of the Rich Text box
to accommodate the scroll bar's extra width in the Microsoft Exchange EForms
Designer and then re-compiling and re-installing the EForm.


STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 4.0 of Microsoft
Exchange. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND
==========

The RichEntry field in the EForm can be broadened to accommodate the extra width
added by the horizontal scroll bar. The designer of the EForm will have to make
this change and then regenerate and re-install the Eform for the users. The
users cannot make any changes in this case.
