Scroll button on mouse

Post by silverback »

Our user has complained that using the scroll button on the mouse :
a) scrolls through the employee records when the user is using Access 2003
b) does not scroll when using Access 2007.

He wants it to be consistent (Huh - users, eh?) and the feature disabled i.e he wants selection to be by explicit use of employee ID only.
Is there a way to disable this function (Since I don't know why it happens I can't focus on how to stop it).

Thanks

You could use Stephen Lebans' MouseWheelOnOff. The free download contains the DLL you need and a database that demonstrates how to use it.
Best wishes,

This article by Allen Browne explains the change that was made with Access 2007.

In the (in my view) unlikely event that you want Access 2007 to behave like 2003, it tells you how to do it.

Hans solution, which is to make 2003 behave like 2007, is far preferable I think.
