Is it possible to make a maximized form scrollable if the main form has a subform on it?

Here is my scenario:

1) User opens a form with a subform on it.
2) The form is maximized with DoCmd.Maximize.
3) If the page is larger than the user's screen, I can drag the scroll bar on the right down to view the rest of the page, but scrolling the mouse wheel does not scroll down. If I remove the subform, however, the mouse wheel works fine.

Any ideas?
 
The only thing I can think of is to change the cycle property of the form to current page, but I've never tried this before...
 
Scrolling the Mousewheel will only work, in this scenario, if Focus in on a Control on the Main Form. If Focus is on anything on the Subform nothing happens when you scroll! I suspect this is what you're experiencing.

And, sadly, changing the Cycle property doesn't effect the Mousewheel. If it could be used for this, developers since the advent of Mousewheels wouldn't have spent hundreds of hours trying to figure out how to prevent this behavior! Access finally addressed it in version 2007.
