Porting fro 2003 to 2007 - 'Mouse wheel

I am aware that in Access 2007 mouse wheel is disabled. Indeed, in
2003 it was somehow dangerous.

I arranged some ways to avoiding mouse wheel problem in some forms but
left it working normally in forms were these was no problem.

Porting to 2007 I don't have mouse wheel at all but still makes sense
to have some quick navigation process in some forms.

Some form side cursor would be fine. Is there such a thing? (I mean
some graphic element providing quick travel among records?).

Of course, any other suggestion is welcome.

Thanks
Henry.

I'm not quite sure where your infrmaton is coming from, but to my knowledge
there has been no change in this. I find the mouse wheel works perfectly and
normal for me in access 2007.

Well, there is the navagation contorls that you can display on the botton of
forms that has been there for at least 15 or more years. Pehaps that option
might be of use here?

So, you could consider using the built in reocrd navagation that most forms
have. However, I would try to figure out why your mouse is not working in
access 2007. It works just fine for me. Sometimes some mouse drivers have to
be specifically set up for a particular applications, but I don't know why
it's not working for you. are you running both access 2003 and 2007 on the
same machine, and it works for one and not the other? I have both 2003 and
2007 on the machine I am currently typing this response to you...and the
mouse wheel works perfectly fine in each version.

Before Access 2007, mousewheel interaction was unpredictable and
often inappropriate, because Access had never been designed to
respond properly to mousewheel commands.

In A2007, they fixed that.

This means that whereas to fix the problem in previous versions of
Access you had to use Stephen Lebans' solution (with his
Mousehook.dll) or other solutions (I recently encountered an
entirely VBA-only solution that looks quite elegant -- haven't yet
had a chance to try it) to trap the mouse wheel events and throw
them away, in A2007 you don't have to worry about it, since A2007
responds appropriately.
 
Hi David,
I find that trying to scroll memo fields in a continuous form is a real pain
in A2007 without the Mousehook dll.
I still find that I need to use Stephan Leban's Mousehook dll to scroll in
those situations in A2007.

You should try it yourself and see why.
