| re: Mouse Wheel Loose First Record
AFAIK, it's a bug with no workaround, except to tell users about it.
I included the following in the User Manual I recently wrote for a database
app. I placed it in a prominent box with a red banner, so that it was
obvious.
"Bug Warning:
If the scroll wheel is used to scroll down in a continuous form in which
there is blank space between the last record and the form footer, scrolling
up will not return the top record into view. Use the up-arrow key, or click
the up-arrow at the top of the vertical scroll-bar on the right-hand side of
the window, to restore this record into view."
Note that the user does not need to do a Refresh or Page Up - other
mouse/keyboard navigation methods (such as those which I tell my users
about) work fine; the only thing that doesn't work is the scroll-wheel.
I also suggest, if you are not doing it already, that youdisable the
scroll-wheel on non-continuous forms, as users may shift between records
without even noticing if they happen to move the wheel. Why there is no
preference setting to turn of the scroll-wheel in a database is beyond me!!!
HTH,
