Tom Rachels point of listview is very valid
Variable listviews is a favorite of mine. Having said that I still use Scrolling regions when I think that is better and sometimes it is.

As soon as I saw the first reference to ARRANGE it looked familiar. Never thought of the Variable List View option. I am tracking the medications people take. The detail section has 20+ data points. The info scroll idea I had uses 7 (med, amount, form, time, how taken, doc, date) and is on a Medical history page with hospitalizations and adaptive equipment. Thank you all.

I rarely utilize scrolling regions anymore. There is so much information that I can display now (in 7.6 and up) in a VariableListView (such as background colors, images) that it is my preferred control now.

The list view is really slick plus don't have to include the child table as a form table, just a where statement for the list that is .. where ChildTableForiegnKey = .FormPrimaryKeyVariable and you can have as many list as you like.

The data is entered elsewhere and the scroll is simply informational. A button is included to allow the user to go off to the detail if they want. Works great and the users like it. Two questions: 1. Is there a way to use the ORDER BY command for that slave based scroll? 2. Can there be more than one unrelated slave scroll, each using separate ORDER BY commands in the same form? Unrelated slave scrolls without ORDER BY work fine, but getting separate ORDER BYs to work is tapping the edge of my current understanding in R:Base V8.
