Wheel mouse doesn't scroll in VBA

For some reason my mouse wheel will not scroll in the
VBE. I have wiped and reloaded this computer and have had
three different versions of Office, and it's still the
same. The mouse wheel will scroll in all other
environments, just not the VBE. Any suggestions?

I don't think the VBA code window hooks into that feature. I recently got a
wheel mouse, and immediately noticed the same behavior.

If you're feeling masochistic, you could write an add-in for the IDE that
hooks into the mouse and programmatically scrolls the code window. But
that's not something I would want to even try.

Ditto on the VBA immediate window.

What happened is the Intellipoint team *totally hosed* the mouse drivers at v5.0 --
if you can revert to v4.x, you should be in business. Of course, that advice is
useless if you have one of their newer meece, like the ones with the tiltwheels. In
that case, the only thing that works are third-party utilities/add-ins.

Second Shyam's recommend for VBScroll.

Sorry... Karl

I don't know if the mouse brand is of any importance: I use a Logitech scroll mouse which would scroll nicely all over the system except for VBE - untill I installed the Logitech Mouseware. Now it works just fine.
