Here is what I would like to do, I have a large textbox with a
horizontal scroll bar and lots of text. I would like to memorize the
value of the scroll bar so that I can go back to certain text. I
tried .selstart which brings me back to the text but the scroll bar
positiion is slightly different and drives me crazy

Thanks

Basically, that'll require you to fire up Spy++ and watch the message
traffic as you scroll. Once you find out what's sent, you can usually use
the SendMessage API to duplicate the traffic. Here's a start....
