[Min]

Hi, I've downloaded and registerred VB6IDEMouseWheelAddin.dll, however, the
Access 2000 VBA IDE's addin manager does not show MouseWheel Fix.
How can I let mousewheel work with Access 2000 VBA?

You don't want an add-in. What you want is the older version (I think v5.2)
of the Microsoft Intellimouse Driver, which you can get for free from
Microsoft's download site.


The reason for the difference is that the newer mouse drivers send
WM_WHEELUP and WM_WHEELDOWN messages to the focused window. The focused
window is not listening for these messages. It is listening for WM_SCROLL
messages.

The reason you want the older mouse driver is that the older one sends
WM_SCROLL messages to the focused window.
