I have a form with several subforms. As entry is added I noticed that if I
use the scroll on the mouse the entry dissapears. How do I lock this entry?
 
The scrollwheel will scroll through records in Access forms. So your entry
hasn't gone entirely, it's merely that your form is no longer displaying it.
If you scroll the other way, it will return.

The solution to this is to disable the scrollwheel in your application. The
best way to do this is via the code Stephen Lebans has made available:

To follow on to this question...
Is there a way to change the operation of the scrollwheel from moving
through records to scrolling within the form? I have a form that's more than
one page length and rather than using the "elevator button" to drag the form
so its lower potrion is visible, I'd like to use the scrollwheel to view the
lower portion. Is it possible?

I could be wrong, but I do not believe that is possible.

However, a possible solution to your form being so tall and needing the
elevator button, is to use a tab control.

Separate the information into logical groupings and put them on
different tabs, then you can make the form smaller and still have
plenty of room for information.
 
I've just found your posting on the scroll wheel issue. I've just posted a
question "scrolling between fields and not between records using the mouse
wheel" I dont have an explanation yet but it mightbe worth "watching that
space!"
