This only happens on the machine running Windows Vista (SP1).

-Excel 2003
-ListBox with several items
-Select one or more items in ListBox
-while ListBox still has "focus", use scroll wheel on mouse

Error message results, saying Excel needs to close.

Has anyone else come across this?

replying to my own question...

Seems to be related to the generic MS mouse drivers. If I use drivers from
Logitech (Setpoint) then Excel doesn't crash. The mouse that I am using
(Dynex) doesn't come with any special drivers.

To get around this bug I had to recode the macro to take focus away from the
Listbox anytime I select something in the Listbox. This does have the side
effect of disabling the scroll bar in the Listbox though. Better than
crashing and losing all of the changes...
