I have a user who is continually frustrated with his mouse scroll wheel causing a form to move from record-to-record rather than scroll the text within a scrollable text box. Is there an application, form, or text box control property that controls this or is there a way to programmatically (i.e., via VBA) disable the mouse scroll wheel from within Access?

Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it. |

AskWoody LoungerDecember 21, 2007 at 12:40 am #1089332Stephen Lebans has a free download on his website: MouseWheelOnOff.
It contains a DLL with a function that you can use in your databases to turn the mouse wheel on and off.
It also contains a sample database that demonstrates how to use the function.You’ll have to place the DLL on your PC to test, and the user will have to place it on their PC.
