How to scroll the main form even when focus is in a subform?

137 100+
Hi,

I've got a form setup with a subform at the bottom of it. The window for the subform is big enough that the entire subform is visible without scrolling within the window, however the parent form requires scrollbars.

I can scroll the parent form when the focus is on it, however as soon as I click anywhere in the subform the focus shifts and I can no longer scroll the parent form until I click back on it - is there a way to setup the mouse wheel so that it only scrolls the parent form, regardless of focus?

Sorry if that sounds confusing - I definitely used the word 'scroll' a few too many times...

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Adam.
