Mouse Scroll Wheel

[SirTech]

Until recently Lebans solution for disabling the mouse scroll wheel has
worked perfectly. Lately some departments have done upgrades - new computers
and peripherals. The OS and software remains the same. The mousehook.dll
also remains in the proper directory. However, the mouse scroll now
functions within Access where it once didn't.
I finally discovered the cause. A second mouse driver has been loaded, a
Levono Mouse Suite. Unloading this has resolved the problem. But... the
Levono Mouse Suite is not going to be removed from the workstations. So, I'm
stuck with the mouse scroll wheel problem once again.
Is there a way to ensure the mouse scroll wheel can be disabled from multiple
drivers - or to ensure it disables the Levono Mouse driver?
If it matters, I've tried disabling the scroll on individual forms, then
changed it to disable for all forms by loading on start up. Both methods
work when the Levono Mouse driver is unloaded, but neither works when Levono
is loaded.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe Stephen Lebans himself will be able to help you; he's a regular poster
on this very forum!

I can't help in the short term, but there is good news for the longer term.

Microsoft has changed the behavior of the mouse wheel in Access 2007. It now
scrolls form in Datasheet and Continuous view only, i.e. scrolling the mouse
in Form view does not change records. The problem is therefore solved
without needing any 3rd party software. You may not be ready to jump to the
new version yet, but at least you can offer that alterntive to your IT
people.

Thanks for posting the issue you tracked down. Lots of people use Stephen's
code, so your post is likely to help others.

Access 2007 would be a perfect solution, but at this point it's not likely
that a software upgrade will happen for a long while. The recent hardware
upgrade took care of their 'budget'. But thanks for the info!

I've emailed the IT department and asked for the driver. I'll forward it as
soon as I get it. Or if neccessary, I make a trip to the affected department
later this week and get the driver myself.
Thank you for your help.

A driver? Stephen doesn't get a mouse if he looks at this for you?

While I await a response from the IT department, I found the driver from the
Lenovo site at
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-4PJKLK.html
If this is insufficient, please let me know and I'll arrange to get what you
need. Thanks again.

The previous link I gave was incorrect. According to the IT folks, the
following is the correct link for the Lenovo Mouse Suite Driver

I'm sorry. I just discovered that the link provided to me (below) doesn't
work. I've had better success with the link I've pasted above.

After reviewing my Mouse Scroll Wheel postings, I thought that I better ask
Mr. Lebans if you in fact did want an actual mouse? The mouse being used
varies from workstation to workstation (most are using IBM optical 2-button
and scroll wheel). It doesn't seem to matter what mouse is used, instead
it's the Lenovo mouse suite driver now being used.
This driver can be found at:
http://www-307.ibm.com:80/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-54227

While I've been trying to solve my problem, fortunately the IT folks have
written a script to disable the Lenovo driver. This has solved the problem
for now, however I've been asked to continue to pursue a solution in the
event that they wish to reload the Lenovo driver.
And so, Mr. Lebans, if you're still willing to look into this for me I would
greatly appreciate your help.
Thank you, and thanks to all for taking time to reply.
