Preventing users scrolling through records using the mouse.

I have a database that is used by a number of users for data entry. There is VBA sitting behind the form to validate the information that is entered, but if users use the scroll on the mouse they can move between records and the validation does not apply. Is there any way that i can get around this?

Thank you.

RE: Preventing users scrolling through records using the mouse.

You could use a bit of code to switch off the Mouse Scroll Wheel:

Access tip:

Switchboard Startup

An option when you open your Access database that contains all of you tables, forms and queries is only the switchboard is displayed.

To achieve this, select Tools click on Startup. On the right hand side of the Startup screen you are able to select which form you want to open when you open you Access Database. Once you have selected this, there is a check box just below that says "Display Database Window", you need to uncheck this option. Then click ok.

Then when you close you Access database and re open it, the database should open with just the switchboard being shown
