Thanks

Hi,

Is this textbox on a UserForm ? If so it should have a "ScrollBars" property by selecting it and pressing F4.
The scrollbar will only show up when the text is too large to be held in the textbox.

If it's an activeX control (directly on your worksheet), select it and press Alt+F11 to open VBA Editor. You should see its property pannel.
