I have long form (16 inches). I need to disable the scroll wheal to prevent the scroll wheal from changing the record number?

See MouseWheelOnOff by Stephen Lebans.

The free zip file contains a DLL that you need to copy to either C:WindowsSystem32 or to the folder containing your database.
It also contains a sample database that shows how to use the DLL.

Is there another way around this problem without the dll? Because the application will be distributed and I do not want to support the end user wher most will have to contact their I.T. deparment to add the dll.

Thanks

Not that I know of in Access 2003. In Access 2007, the mouse wheel only scrolls from record to record in continuous and datasheet forms, not in single forms.
