You're middle section, I presume, consists of a bunch of child fields. If you select all of these child fields and group them, then make that group scrollable, it will allow you to scroll only the middle section (this won't have the appearance of scrolling the card, though). This sounds like what you're after.
One of the bonuses in grouping things this way is that you can dynamically grow the groups size by adding more child fields to it. For instance when you click on a parent record and it has 30 children, you can add the additional fields to the group and it will grow proportionately. You will need to make sure when you're done, then, that you reset the groups height to match that of the card - then you're scrollbar will be exactly what you need. (If you lock the groups location and size you may not need the last step.)
Hope this helps. Ray

Thanks, folks. My record, when displayed has 3 sections. It's the middle
section I want to scroll with the children fields displayed. Does that
cause a problem? Jim

And make sure to go into the "Property Inspector" for the group Jacque
described and open the Geometry properties. Click on the vertical pipe
that that exits the top of the object box and the horizontal pipe that
exits the left side of the object box. Each will turn red as you click
it. This will ensure that your group resizes with the window.

I’m very new to Revolution and I have a question. I’m designing a

seem to be
reading in the docs for Rev is that I can place a vertical scroll bar

do it? Jim
The easiest way is to create a very tall card with enough space to lay
out all your fields. The card can be taller than the screen if
necessary. Then group all the fields and objects on the card. In the
property inspector, set the group to have a vertical scrollbar. Then
resize both the group and the stack window to be smaller than the card
so that the scrollbar becomes active. If you set the size of the group
to be the same size as the stack window, it will look just like a
scrolling document.
