Re: Scroll Wheel effecting a form

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Thanks for the reply.

I downloaded Lebans solution from the link you previded.
I set the .dll in the same directory as my application (.mdb)
I put this code in the on load event of the first form

Private Sub Form_Load()
'Turn the MouseWheel off
Dim blRet As Boolean
blRet = MouseWheelOFF
End Sub

it did not solve my problem.

I am using Access 2003 (in this case)

My development machine is VISTA
Do you think that could be the issue?

The scroll wheel is moving you through the records. Nothing except your view of the records is disappearing. The records are still there. I wouldn't think you'd get a favorable response to the suggestion to change hardware. There is a third-party technique here:

I think I have heard that in Access 2007 there is a built-in way of solving the problem, but I'm not sure about that.

Is there any way to keep a mouse scroll wheel from having an effect on a form?
This is a single form for data entry and if are part way thru the form and for what ever reasom use the scroll wheel all the fields on the form are effected (they dissapear - like going to the next new record).
My suggestion to get a mouse without a scrool wheel was not met with enthusiasm. :)

Any help here will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
