Removing Mouse Wheel scroll functionality

Hey people,

I'm using Access 2003, and I am self taught (go the Access 2003 Bible!! ;-)

I have a Switchboard form, with a button that opens up a form that displays
client data.

The problem I have, is that the users of this system have the inane habit of
scrolling their wheel mouse (damn habits :-P) and when they do that, it
scrolls through the different clients in the database.

Is there anyway to disable wheel from moving from record to record in a
Form?

Thanks in advance,

Mat
 
Thanks for that Sandra!!!

I tried the .dll file, but it only seems to work with .mdb databases (I am
designing an .adp)

When I try to add the .dll in as a reference for VBA, it comes up with a
Visual Basic error saying "Can't add a reference to the specified file"

Don't suppose you could provide any more assistance?

Thanks a lot,

Mat

Hi Mat,

You do not register the .dll - you just copy the included MouseHook.DLL into
your Windows/System folder or into the same folder as your application MDB.
(Straight from Stephen's Website). I don't know whether it should work with
an adp - I don't use adp's so I've never tried it.

You could also take a look a the following KB article which offers a
solution for mdbs and adp's:

Records in a Form
