I have several databases whose main screen is a set of continuouse forms made out to look like a table.

On using the mouse wheel to scroll down the screen there is frequently a delay before the records move.

It's not the end of the world but it is slightly annoying

Have done a search on Mouse Wheel Scroll and haven't found any other threads with this exact problem

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this?
Whether its a mouse set up problem?
And whether its fixable?

Not the end of the world if I can't do anything about it but would be nice to polish by application off.

Thanks in advance

To me this sounds like a data issue rather than a mouse issue. If you have a form that to all intense purposes is a continious form emulating a datasheet scrolling the data using a mouse wheel is ok for smallish numbers, however, a large recordset will induce delays as it is attempting to redraw the screen.

Is their an index on the form data as opposed to a sort order?

Thanks

No index on the form data.

What is slightly strange there seems to be no delay when using the mouse to drag the scroll bar.
 
I've had the same problem too. It only happened on certain datasheets though, which leads me to believe DCrake is on to something. I also noticed that if while scrolling, I shake my mouse side-to-side it makes the page scroll smoothly... weird.

I haven't found any solutions either, but I'll post back if I ever find out.
