Turn off Scrolling between records?

By default, when i scroll down a page in any other
Microsoft document by using my Mouse scrolling wheel, it
moves me up and down on the page. However in Access, using
the Mouse scrolling wheel moves me between records.

I have attempted to set up all my forms so that the user
does not have to scroll. However, it's a royal pain in the
tail if you accidently hit the scroll wheel and suddenly
find yourself in another record, or worse yet, in a blank
record.

Is there a setting where I can change this, or at least
turn this off? This would apply to tabbing as well - when
the user tabs through fields on a form I would really
prefer that the Tab move them from last field to first
field on the same record instead of moving to the next
record.
 
have you tried setting your form's Cycle property to
Current Record, rather than All Records? that will take
care of the tabbing issue; maybe it will solve your
scrolling wheel issue as well.
 
Thanks so much to both John and Tina. The Cycle property
took care of the Tabbing issue, but not the scrolling -
I've downloaded the zip file from the link and hopefully
it will provide me what I need to 'fix' this.
