Locking the page

Hi -

I have read the post on how to lock the mouse scroll feature on Access so that you don't scroll between records inadvertently. (http://www.lebans.com/mousewheelonof...MouseWheelHook)

However, I'm not sure what he means (I've learned Access, but am not familiar with the codes). I pasted

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Private Sub Command14_Click()
  2. ' Turn the MouseWheel Off
  3. Dim blRet As Boolean
  4. blRet = MouseWheelOFF
  5. End Sub
into the code for a particular form. The website also mentioned copying the "mousehook DLL" into the Windows System folder. What is that?? (the DLL, not the folder).

Thanks again, and I apologize for the rudimentary nature of this post.

Here's part of a file I have with a condensed version of Lebans' installation instructions:

First, download and unzip the db and take a look. Go into your db and goto File > External Data > Import and import the module modMouseHook from the sample database.

Next, use your FIND feature in Windows to make sure you have the file MouseHook.dll on your PC. You may have to go into Windows and select "Show hidden files" then run FIND. You need to place a copy of this file in the same folder your database resides in.

Good Luck!

Okay... I imported the Module into my database, and copied the application into the folder where my database lives. I also copied the application into the main Windows folder. But the scroll function has not been turned off. Any other tips??

Thanks,
