I have disabled all navigation bars on a particular form
so users can not go backwards into already entered
records. However, I have noticed that if I use the
scroll wheel on my mouse it will scroll the past
records. Is there any way to disable this. I can't find
a reference in the properties pages of the form. TIA

There are a few different methods. I use Stephen Lebans Mousehook.dll
solution. If you do a Google search it's easy to find.

BTW, did you also trap the PageUp and PageDown keys? Disable the ability
to change, or remove filters? Disable the "Edit - Go to Record..." menu
item? There are lots of ways the user can initiate record navigation. The
only way to be sure is to make the RecordSet of the form return only one
single record at a time. Then there really is "no place else to go".
 
Sorry that this is unrelated to your question, but you may have an answer for me.

You said you disabled the navigation bars so that the user cannot go back to previous records. Do you know how to activiate the new record button? I have a form, and the navigation buttons are present on the bottom, but the buttons don't work.

Thanks for any help.
