The "rookie-est" of all questions...

[mikelee101]

Hello,
I have, perhaps, the most basic question ever. I am trying to disable the
mouse wheel in an Access 2000 form, so that users can't use it to scroll
through records. I found Article 278379, which certainly fits the bill. The
first two steps are:

1. Start Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0
2. Create a new ActiveX DLL project, and then open it.

With Access (or Excel, Word, etc.,) open, I can hit alt + f11 and the Visual
Basic editor opens. It is version 6.3. However, I suspect that this is not
what the article is telling me to do. So, my questions:

-Is there a more "robust" Visual Basic application than what one sees when
accessing it through an Office App?
-If so, any way for me to tell if I have it?
-If not, any ideas how I do step 2?

Thanks to all for the help.

There's a difference between Visual Basic and Visual Basic for Applications
(which is what's in the various Office products)

am just wondering..... if you remove the navigation controls of the
Form.....doesn't that also render the wheel nonfunctional??

I don't believe so.
