Disable mousewheel navigation in Access 2002 (XP)

[Banaticus]

I've heard that there's an "easy" way to stop movement of the mouse wheel from navigating through records in Access 2002 (XP). All of the solutions that I've seen so far involve bunches of code which (given that my forms are so packed already) could slow my forms down slightly. Is there an easy way? Something like the simple ability to change [Tab] to only move through a single record in this version of Access instead of having to add a tabstop to each like I had to in previous versions of Access?

It takes lots of code. There's no simple solution.

Not that hard to do for there are plenty of solutions posted. It just depends on when and why you want to disable the users scroll mouse wheel. I disagree with disabling it just because you do not want them to use it. If it is because you do not want a dirty record to be saved without the user clicking a save button then that can be easily taken care of.

These might be useful to you..

A Better Mouse Trap?

Enable/Disable The Control Box X Button

You want to use the forms Before Update event for data validation. If that is the route you are taking.

No, my problem is with those big mice with 5 buttons on them (both sides, top, etc.) that have really touchy wheels. It sometimes seem as though you barely bump the wheel and suddenly Access navigates through the next three records. I think I'll just use your save button, ghudson, thanks.
