    Mouse wheel doesn't work with subform

    Hello,
    I am working with a form and a subform. The subform is a list of choices in a listbox. When I open the form the mouse wheel works fine to show the bottom of the main form. But, when the focus moves to the subform (by selecting an item on a list box) the mouse wheel does not work for either the main form or the subform.



    I do not want to scroll through records. I want to be able to use the mouse to scroll to the bottom of the subform when the focus is there, and the bottom of the main form when that has the focus.

    Both the main form and the subform are set as "single forms".

    Thanks for any suggestions!

    Listbox (and combobox) has its own scroll bars. When the listbox has focus those are the active scroll bars.

    Is the subform in Single view?

    Both the form and the subform are in Single View.
    Both have scroll bars that work when dragged with the mouse.

    But I should have been more clear: I want to be able to use the mouse _wheel_ on whichever has the focus, the form or the subform. When I click an item in the subform, the mouse wheel does not work at all.

    thanks.

    Works for me. Except, as already noted, when combobox or listbox has focus.

    Does your mouse wheel work in the subform's list box?
    Are there properties in the subform that allow that? is that where the control lies?

    Yes, works in combobox and listbox. No properties that I am aware of to change that. Yes, on subform. When focus is on a textbox, the subform scroll bars are active and mouse wheel works to scroll the subform.
