I have begun working on this file and I am trying to get the canvas with the majority of the widgets to scroll, but it isn't working. I think the problem is in the definition of height, width, and scroll region. But I haven't been able to get anything to work when I play around with those numbers. Here is the code:
from tkinter import * from tkinter import ttk from tkinter import filedialog def work_area(): #create GUI root = Tk() root.geometry("+800+300") root.title("FSCE Database") frame_main = ttk.Frame(root)

StringVar() city = StringVar() state = StringVar() home_phone = StringVar() cell_phone = StringVar() email = StringVar() num_people = StringVar() name_age = StringVar() campsite = StringVar() notes =
