2 questions

Hi, I'm new to this forum, and I wonder if somebody could help me out with these:
1) I wrote this program ans I want to force it to start as soon as I start the computer. How do I do that?
2) Is there a way to control the position of the scrollbars of a textbox in visual basic? Whenever I add new text to the textbox the scrollbar goes up, and I'd like to force it to stay down.

Thanks

As to the first Q: presuming the program is loaded / installed on your HD, ceate a shortcut (you know how to do that, right ?) and then copy said shortcut or move it to c:\Windows\Start; then reboot to see if it eventually comes up as "started" on your screen

As to second Q: sorry, of no help.

I just tried it and it doesn't work 🙁
Also I noticed there are other shortcuts in that folder which don't start up by themselves,
and the ones that do are not all there... so there must be something else...

The shortcut needs to go into the menu structure under Startup not Start.
On the assumption that you are running Win9x/Me traverse the directory about 2-3 more levels.
I am not at a Win9x systems now, but I think it may be under Programs Files.

There should be a command in the Scrollbar object to position the scroll button. The Scroll bar Win32 API has such a command, so it should exist in VB or you may have to add it.
