Does anyone know of a way to turn off the feature that scrolls through 
records in a form when you turn the "roller ball" thing on the mouse?

I have a form that, for various reasons, I want people to use my buttons 
(first, last, previous, and next) to scroll through the records, and NOT 
be able to use the little roller ball thing that's on the mouse.

Thank you for any help.

Microsoft has two articles:

Access97: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q308636

Access2000: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q278379

Sadly, both of the require you to build a dll file using VB 6.0! The Access2000 article does provide a native Access solution, but
it comes with a scary warnining message!

AccessXP does have some mousewheel events, but again does not allow you to cancel them.
