Scrolling flds

[Eric Chatonet]

Bonsoir Yves,

LineOffset returns the number of lines between the beginning of a value 
and an occurrence of a specified string.
So, LineOffset does not take care of numbers or alpha chars and 
*stupidly counts the lines*. That's all :-)
So the code Klaus provided *should* work in all cases.
Your problem (I can't figure it) is elsewhere...
FixedLineHeight set to false?
Does not help to much :-(
