use the mouse wheel to scroll down the form. not the records

[antonyx]

i have successfully managed to disable scrolling through records using the mouse wheel.

however, im sure this has been asked many times.. oddly enough i havent found the solution..

when my user rolls the mouse wheel up and down..i want the form to scroll up or down..

how can this be done.. i have downloaded the mouse extension thingy from microsoft site but it doesnt work.. how can it be done.. its quite important for my user.

Take a look at the form's Cycle property and set it to "Current Record." Scrolling will then be limited to the current form, and not subsequent or prior records. The user will not be able to scoll or tab off the current record.

lol...

forget records..

i want my user to be able to scroll down the form..

imagine the form is longer then the monitor size..

to move down to the lower part of the form.. they click the scroll bar and move that downwards..

this action can also be acheived using the mousewheel when viewing a website..

i want my user to be able scroll downwards and see the lower section of the form using the mouse wheel

Besides my previous post consider page marks and paging with the PgUp/PdDn keys.

was a solution ever found for this?

I have an unbound form and unbound controls, meaning I don't have the problem of scrolling through my records when I use the mousewheel. I would just like to scroll my form up and down with the mousewheel.
Setting the cycle option to form or record only doesn't work for me...
If anyone knows a solution to this maybe my access-headache will go away

I tried the mousewheelhook.dll stuff but that makes no difference to my form..

It may be deemed bad design practice to create a form which is taller than the viewing area. Why not use tabbed pages instead.

Because I'm printing the form directly and haven't bothered to create a report yet..
Will probably do so in my 2nd version but I have a tight deadline
