DISABLING THE SCROLLING WHEEL OF A MOUSE.

[EricB]

We are receiving a lot of complaints from are users that
have mouses with scrolling wheels. They complain that
when they are on a form and when they start scrolling
that the next records are being displayed, we have these
kind of problems in combo-boxes as well. Isn't there a
way to disable the scrolling wheel of a mouse using VBA?

Many thanks.

There is no way built-in way of doing this in Access currently. Howeve,
Microsoft have provided a solution with a VB dll. If you do a search on
Google for mousewheel.dll you will find a small dll you need to install in
Windows\System32 folder and the code that you need to add on each form's
Open, Close and MouseWheel event.
