Default scroll in mouse on a form

Hopefully, your database is split with a front-end on each workstation and
the data, if shared, on a server. You should not need to set a reference to
the dll, nor should you try to open the dll. Place a copy of the dll in the
same folder as your application's front-end. I'm not sure, but putting it in
the Windows\System32\ directory in addition or in place of the local folder,
should also work. When you open the form, put a boolean variable in the
form's declaration section and set the variable to MOUSEWHEELOFF in the form
open or load event.

I just tried it out. I think I need to include the dll to the mdb because
when I run the mousewheelon, it gave me "function not defined...". But when
I do it through tool-references and then browse and after I click the dll
file, it gave me "can't add a refence to the specified file" message. Can
you please help? Thanks. I using Access97 and MouseWheelHook97.zip .

You can't change the action, but you can turn it off:

Also, there is an older program named FreeWheel that may offer some help:

Hi,

How do I change the scroll action on a mouse when I open up
an Access form? Say instead of going to next record, it goes down the
screen. Please help. Thanks.
