Enable scrolling in IDE when using RDP

When I sign in to an RDP session, start Access and get into the IDE to inspect module code the mouse does not scroll the window.  There is a scrollbar that I can drag with the mouse, but the mouse's scroll wheel has no effect.  The scroll wheel works in all other applications in the RDP session.

Is there a reference I need to link in?  Or is this configured in the RDP connection properties?

Update your Office installation. It's imho the Office version from spring this year, where the updates broke that functionality.
Check to see if the mouse driver on the server matches the client.

Ste5an, I may have to live with this for a few months.  The client is going to be upgrading from Access 2003 to Access 365, but not until after the first of the year.  We're modernizing some of the code, but we won't actually be testing it until we're in the new environment.

Frank, I can find the mouse driver on my PC, but how do I determine if it's what the client is expecting?
You would need to verify that the driver on the server matches the client.  This will require admin rights on the server.  If you have multiple clients using the same server you may need to install the mouse drivers for all of them.  The server should choose the correct driver upon connection.
