VB Editor & Help bugs?

I am running Access2002 under XP Pro. The Visual Basic
editor says version 6.3 and Access says it has SP-2
installed.

When I am in the VB editor, my mouse wheel does not
scroll the text. I have to use those 'old fashioned'
scroll bars and arrows on the window's edge. Is it just
me - do I have some quirky flag set someplace - or is
this usual?

Also, when help first opens, if I type something
incorrect in the Answer Wizard's input box, the backspace
key has no effect. I must click, drag, and highlight the
mistake and overwrite. I couldn't say for certain that
this happens every time, but often. I also can't say if
it happens in both VB help and Access help, but it drove
me crazy today so I wrote. And, on occasion, when help
first opens, the whole help application locks up (must
use task manager to close).

Again, just me or is this experienced by others? In
general, I have a really stable box so that makes me
think it may be software related in stead of hardware/OS.

Thanks,

I don't think the mouse wheel has ever worked in the VBA editor. They are
not real Windows windows: I think the whole thing is managed by the editor/
environment itself rather than the OS.

Real programmers only use the keyboard anyway <running away.... > !

It's working (scrolling) for me, running A2K2 under Win2K.
 
Tim the MouseWheel will work in the VB IDE providing the WIndows
INtellimouse app is running in the background and visible in your system
tray. If it is not, the easiest solution is to simply resinstall the
Mouse Driver as the default config is to run the Intellimouse app at
startup.
