Does any one know if there is a way to switch of the mouse roller button from working in a access application, or at least stop it scrolling through records from within a form.

Bob,
Try the mousehook control from Stephan Lebans (http://www.lebans.com/mousewheelonoff.htm). He has easy to follow instructions and it works really well.

HTH,

Thanks for the info Now I can stop my cruelty to my mouse :)

LOL-
Until someone from this forum told me about that dll I had resorted to putting scotch tape on the mouse. My boss was NOT impressed. But at least that prevented creation of extra records or inadvertently changing a record.
