Stephen's solution keeps the scroll wheel enabled in a combo box.

Thanks, Ken.

I do not undertand the OP's request. The Scroll Wheel does not work within a
standard Access ComboBox control.

I did a quick test with frmSampleDataTABS in your version 2.2 after Ken's
post.

When the drop-down list of the ComboBox is visible, I think you can scroll
the list in the drop-down and I had the MouseHook.dll in the System32 and
also tried it in the MDB directory.

I confirm Van's observation. I use Stephen's mousewheel solution throughout
an application, and so long as the dropdown list is open the scrollwheel
does allow scrolling up / down the list. But that is perfectly fine for my
application's needs, so I like it!

Guys I meant that without my code, the normal behaviour is for the mouse
scroll wheel to not work within a ComboBox control. I purposely modified my
code last year to enable it to work with ComboBox controls.

Thanks, Stephen.

I never notice this behaviour (scroll wheel does not work within ComboBox)
since ... I hardly ever used the mouse scroll wheel. Somehow, I am still
not comfortable using the scroll wheel considering the amount of time I have
spent in front of the computer.

Stephen,

Here is the problem. When I click on the ComboBox drop-down list, I can use
the mouse wheel to scroll through the list. What this does is changes the
value in the bounded texted box when I leave the box or when the box does not
have focus.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

If you are using my MouseWHeelHook code then there is no solution...sorry.
