Dave--

There may also be a relevant option in the TweakUI PowerToy for 
Windows 2000. The latest is 1.33 for Windows 2000, located at

http://www.microsoft.com/ntworkstation/downloads/PowerToys/Networking/NTTweakUI.asp

It may have some relevant setting, but if there isn't and what 
Eduardo suggested doesn't work, it means FileMaker made the choice to 
use scrolling menus instead of panels. You should also try their 
knowledge base and/or complain.
