Scroll wheel spans recordset not form view

[Arvin Rex]

How can I scroll a long form up and down?. The mouse wheel navigates through the recordset and screws up the usefulness of the form. Seems to me that this did not used to happen in the past. Access 2003; XPsp2; MS Comfort Optical Mouse; Intellipoint software. I have Freewheel installed but it cannot control this behavior.

It happened in past versions. Stephen Lebans has provided a way around it
among the many fine utilities on his web site:

And also there was this hardware solution:

In this thread, you will see that he stumbled onto a hardware solution
to the mouse wheel.

Well deduced! It's the software for the mouse (and incidentally the
keyboard). The setup facility in the mouse software (not the microsoft
mouse
settings in control panel) has a "system default ,(intelimouse)"
option and
a setting called "enhanced scroll mode". It doesn't explain what
exactly
"enhanced scroll mode" is, but when that option is selected the wheel
scrolls
inside the form. When "system default "is selected it scrolls between
records. This is the case even when I connected a conventional (cable
and
rollerball) mouse. Might be worth talking with the manufacturers and
see if
they can explain. from what you've said there might be a whole new
market for
their product!
