This may well only work in Office 2003 but may be worth trying for earlier versions.
The article I found (Add support for the scroll wheel to the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications 6 environment) in the Access 2003 help system resolves this very long-standing problem. Office 2007 obviates the need for this, but for anyone still using earlier versions this could prove very handy indeed. It was always one of my bug-bears until I found some third-party software to mimic the fix. This is like an official, supported version though (and doesn't need anything running in your system-tray either :)

NB. This is installed on a per user (HKEY_CURRENT_USER), rather than a per PC basis (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE).
This means if you log on to the same PC but as a different user, this will NOT work for you until you re-update the registry.

So it wouldn't be practical to use on an application that was being released to multiple users then?

No.
It's for the VBA window. You wouldn't want users playing in there much ;)
