mouse roll button doesn't work in VB editor

[Guest]

Can anyone tell why I can't use my mouse roll button in the VB editor. I use
it in every other application, and I'm sure it used to work but doesn't now.
Thanks and regards, Brett

Sorry Brett, it doesn't work and as far as I know (certainly on Excel 2003)
it never has. I agree it's an inconvenience.

I use VBScroll, but there are at least a couple of options:

And it's been fixed in xl2007!

I use VBScroll on all of my computers save one. That one is a laptop which
must have been set up with the right combination of mouse drivers and when
all the planets were scrolled into position, and the scroll wheel has always
just worked in the VB window.

Hi Brett,

There is a MS KB article reffering to this problem.

FWIW, I had problems with the IntelliPoint method, and the
VB6IDEMouseWheelAddin is a larger imposition (larger file, more work to
install) than the tiny VBScroll utility.
