At least I hope it's easy!

I have a very form in Access which is much too long for the screen.

When I use the scroll wheel on the mouse, this scrolls through the records, whereas I want it to scroll down the form for the record I am currently on.

I probably need to reset a property for the form - but I'm not sure which one! Can anyone help?

Many thanks

If you first click on the scroll bar so it has the focus and then use the wheel does it still do that?

Yes, it still scrolls through the records.

Which version of Access you using? The chances are this is what was set up on the design of the form. You need to check the properties/event tab for the form.

It's Access 2003.

I'm sure you're right that there is a property I need to set correctly, but which one?


I was hopeful when I altered the 'Cycle' property from 'All records' to 'Current record' or 'Current page' - but it didn't have the effect I wanted.

Not 100% without looking at it so this is off the top of my head but isn't there a command for OnMouseUp and OnMouseDown. Is anything on that?

There is, but I'm not sure how to use it.

If I put my curser in the On Mouse Down property field, the drop down offers me only the Autoexec macro I set up or "[Event procedure]" and I don't know what to do from thereon.

I can't help feellnig it should be simpler than this!
