I am having a problem with Access 2000 for which I can't find an
answer. My project opens a form with a new record, and one of the
controls on the form is a combo box. If a user tries to navigate the
combo box choices using the mouse wheel, the wheel mouse scrolls
through all the records in the table the form is bound to. The combo
box is still open, but the user ends up thinking all the data on the
main form has changed. Is there any solution to this ? Thanks for any
and all help.
 
Go to Forms Coding and search for Mouse Wheel Disable. I think you'll get
more help than you need.

RIP
 
Any help you can find will probably point you to Stephen Lebans' excellent
site, and particularly to:

The mouse wheel issue is a longstanding complaint, but Microsoft does not
seem to have a plan to address it. The only solutions come from third
parties.
