Broken wheel-scroll in a subform

[Jamesiv1]

In the default Contacts database, in the "Namecard" form I have somehow broken the ability to scroll thru the comments using the wheelmouse



I can still click-n-drag the scrollbar, and click the up/down arrows and it works Ok.

It worked yesterday, and wheel-scrolling works everywhere else in the application, but not in the little 'comment' subform.

I've created a new database (works fine), compared properties new-to-old, tried recreating the comments section - all to no avail.

Not the end of the world, but I expect to get a lot of comments...

Please help?

Older versions of Access used to scroll through the records with the mouse wheel and developers would use an API to Windows to disable the wheel. New versions of Access have the mouse wheel disabled by default. Now, there are Mouse Up and Mouse Down events. If you want to scroll through the records, use the Mouse Up and Mouse Down events.

But it was working until yesterday. And if I create a new database from scratch, it works (same database, same form)

It seems that particular form is broken?

Also, I can create a new Contacts database, add some comments, it works fine, start editing the layout of the form and it will break (scrollwheel stops working)

Haven't yet identified what or exactly when it breaks, but it breaks. Undo-ing does not fix it either. weird

I was considering properties for the Form and not for a Subform Control.

I do not see any properties for a subform container that suggest you can disable the mousewheel. The fact that it started not to work, all of the sudden, suggests there may be corruption. It may be related to "Layout View". I do not have experience with layout view.

This is something I have not seen before. If I see inconsistent results in a form, I rebuild in an effort to fix corrupted objects.
