I'm writing a touchscreen app and the listbox scrollbar is very hard
to use for fat fingers. Does anyone know of a way to programatically
make the scrollbar and arrows bigger? I don't want to change system-
wide settings to achieve this sit it's just one screen I need this
for.

I know some MVP out there has this mastered but I couldn't find
anything in the newsgroup. Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
James

It's not possible on a per form/window/control basis.
An alternative is to hide the Access ListBox's ScrollBar using an ActiveX 
ScrollBar control which allows resizing. Use the exposed events of the 
ActiveX control to then programmatically control the ListBox's ScrollBar. I 
have posted code in the NG's and on my site showing how to use the relevant 
API's to control the ListBox's ScrollBar.
