Ok, I've downloaded mousehook from http://www.lebans.com/mous
I can't seem to get it to work. I put the code in the OnLoad event of the first form that opens, so it disables the wheel right away. However when the form is loaded is comes up with an error the dll can't be found. I've put the dll in the same folder as the front end.
Has anyone used the mousehook in this manner before, that might be able to shed some light on my situation?
Thanks
Tom

THe notes on Lebans.com said not to register or set references to the dll from within access, just placed in the folder where the app front end is located, or place into the windows/system file.
My network admin wouldn't allow me to use the knowledge base method with the registring of the dll. so I'm trying to get it to work around it.

MVPS.org also has some API mousewheel control but this is going to be OS specific perhaps.

Hmm, I use this version:
http://support.microsoft.c
In the "all Access" way and it does work in a network environment.

Nico, I added the code for the "all access" version, however now when I compile the code, I get a comple error on a line that previously didn't raise any errors. here's the code
Else
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmExistingCustomer"
'check to see if the frmexisting business form is open
'if it is not, open the switchboard
varState = SysCmd(acSysCmdGetObjectSt
If varState = 1 Then
Exit Sub
Else
DoCmd.OpenForm "Switchboard"
End If
End If
The line raising the compile error is
varState = SysCmd(acSysCmdGetObjectSt
Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Greetings TomDuCrosbie!
The dll needs to be registered by the Installer app when it loads, or manually if no deployment app is used.
Measures need to be taken to assure that another more current dll is not already registered and running that another application may depend on.
