Disable Mouse Scroll in Access Form

[Guest]

Hello:

I program in both Access 2000 and 2003 and I was creating a form and I would
like to find a way to disable the Mouse Scroll. I have set the forms to not
diplay the scroll bars or the Navigation. I have coded command buttons to
give the user the ability to move from one record to the next. However, I
noticed that the scroll button when used acts like a scroll moving the
records up and down. I would like to know how I can allow the form to either
allow or not allow the user to use the mouse scroll pertaining to the form
they use. I have heard of MouseWheel on/off but I would like to know if there
is something that Microsoft uses to do this. I would rather not use a 3rd
party - I would perfer using a solution that Microsoft would provide instead.
I would prefer a coding above all to use in the background like VBA or VB.

I thank you in advance for your time,

Venner

That particular solution does not handle multiple forms or Subforms. A
modifed version of this code that does handle both of these issues is
available on my Web site. Scroll down on the page to the older ActiveX
MouseWHeel solutions.

For the two issues previously mentioned, for Distribution/Registration
issues, and most importantly for ease of use, I wrote the MouseWHeelHook
solution in the form of a standard Windows DLL in Visual C++. It has
been widely tested and in use by thousands of users every day.
