Tab control page

I posted this question several weeks ago but no reply. Does it make sense?
Thanks.

"I am using a form with tab control pages and a combo box for record
selection. After a record is selected, if the cursor is moved quickly across
the form, the selection moves through the records rather than staying on the
originally selected record."

A couple possibilities to check out.

Do you have the form's "Cycle" property set to Current Record or All
Records?

Do you have a MouseWheel event being triggered?

Just a thought (or two)...

Thanks for your reply.

Cycle property is set to current record, no MouseWheel event. I do have an
On Open event and an On Activate event.

Happens most frequently with touchpad on laptop but happens with mouse also.
 
Gregg, i'm willing to look at your db and see if i can duplicate and fix the
problem. if you'd like for me to try to help, post an email address (but
better disguise it from the spammers) and i'll email you with directions.

how do i post an e-mail with a disguise?

I wanted to make sure it was still doing it before I sent db and I think I
finally understand - after I select the record, if I use the mousewheel (as
suggested below) it goes through the records. Is this how this should work?
I do not have an event for moursewheel. I am not able to replicate useing
touchpad at this time but it often happens with it. Should I still e-amil or
can I perhaps disable mousewheel?
 
having me look at the db is a last-ditch effort, better to solve the problem
here if possible.
i believe i've seen code to "disable" a mousewheel posted here in the
newsgroups, but i've never used it. suggest you google and/or do a search
here in the newsgroups for "mousewheel" or "disable mousewheel" - something
along those lines. if you can't find what you need, suggest you post a new
thread with the question here in the access.forms group, or perhaps in
access.formscoding (you shouldn't need to post to more than one newsgroup).

as for why it's happening with a touchpad, i have no idea, sounds strange. i
use a touchpad with my desktop pc, and have never had that issue arise in an
Access database...

re disguising an email address: most people do that when posting, so the
data miners don't pick up the address and spam you to death. everybody has
their own way of doing it, for instance
myemailTAKEOUTaddress <at> someALLCAPITALwebsite <dot> cLETTERSom
you just want to avoid a standard email format of
(e-mail address removed)

I searched on disable mousewheel and seems a lot of people have encountered
this problem with the LogiTech mousewheel. I will try one of their solutions
and trust I will make progress or I will continue looking. Thanks for
directing me to what appears to be the source of the problem - the mousewheel
& software, not Access forms.
