Activating Scroll wheel. Simple Question 1

[Rmck87]

I am not sure if this can be done in Microsoft Access 2000 But i wanted to make it so i can use the scroll wheel when i code in Access. Because it gets real annoying whenever i have to keep using the scrollbar. If this is possible please let me know otherwise i guess i can live with it. Thanks in advance.

Simple answer, yes it is possible to use the scroll wheel, all you have to do is install the driver for the mouse!
I have the same problem but cannot find the software for the mouse.
It seems to be a pretty common question though

Your right it works! I downloaded the driver for it and it works now. You say you can't find the software for your mouse tho? What kind of mouse is it? Have you tried the Microsoft website?

Thats where i found the drivers for mine!

Cool, it works, but there is one strange thing, if the page is not long enough to scroll down, then it starts to scroll to the side! a little odd but its ok.
Happy Scrolling Everybody

It should do that.... I have had it happen in other windows too. It is odd. But, i am glad it works!
