scroll in mouse on a form
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. |

You really can't. You can disable the mouse wheel, which can really be
important in some apps (so that users don't accidentally move to another record without realizing it) but you can't disable the move to next record and at the same time allow it to scroll down the screen. To be honest, if you have to scroll down the screen to see all of your form, you probably need to look at your design! Maybe add a tabbed form control! -- There's ALWAYS more than one way to skin a cat!

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

So if this is used for multi-clients environment, I just need to put the dll
file to the same directory with the mdb and no need to put to the window folder of every client machine and that should be fine, right? Thanks. "Arvin Meyer [MVP]" wrote in message ...

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.

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. -- Arvin Meyer, MCP, MVP http://www.datastrat.com http://www.mvps.org/access http://www.accessmvp.com "00KobeBrian" wrote in message ...

If you're in a multi-user environment, the application should be split into
a front-end (containing the queries, forms, reports, macros and modules), linked to a back-end (containing the tables and relationships). Only the back-end should be on the server: each user should have his/her own copy of the front-end, preferably on his/her hard drive. The DLL would be placed in the same folder as the front-end database. In other words, yes, you need to copy it to each client machine. -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no private e-mails, please) "00KobeBrian" wrote in message ...

There's code that you need to copy from the sample database into your
database. I don't have a copy of the database handy, but there's at least a class module that has to be copied. -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no private e-mails, please) "00KobeBrian" wrote in message ...

"function not defined..." means you literally don't have a copy of the
function in your DB. About half of the people who are pointed at Lebans site forget to import the module and get this message. After you've unzipped the sample DB, go into your DB and import the module modMouseHook from the sample DB. -- There's ALWAYS more than one way to skin a cat!
