Default Scrolling on text box

Here's an intersting problem. I have a database which displays a large set of data in a text-box. The textbox ha a vertical scroll bar, but you can only use the scroll bar by dragging it, and the users want to be able to use the scroll wheels on their mice...

I experimented with a sub form, but don't think that was the best idea...

Any one have any thoughts how I could pull this off?

Thanks

Mike

Does the mouse wheel work when the text box has focus? Any object has to have focus for the mouse wheel to work.

From what I have read online, it looks like this is a feature lacking from the textbox control.

Even when it has focus, the scroll wheel still doesn't work. I tried to find an ActiveX RTF box to see if that would work better, but no joy there either(I couln't find one).

I think it may have to be a work around/cheat approach that does it, but wanted to see if anyone had a solution before I tried to figure that out.

Thanks
