Hi

My form is set to add new records and is set to form only.
However if the mousewheel is depressed and scrolled forward multiple blank records are created.
I want to prevent the mousewheel from working while adding records through the form.

Thanx

Hi,
since you didn't provide a version you will be using this in I just want to let you know that this issue has been fixed in Access 2007 when in Single form view.

Good luck

You could do a few things...
1. Set some of the fields to either REQUIRED = YES
2. Set Form AllowAdditions = NO, and create a Button that resets it to YES and Goes to New Rec when clicked...

Other than that you could test your Mouse settings in Control Panel, but that would obviously effect other apps
as well.

Hi

Thank you for all the replies, and some interesting solutions.

I thought that the code to disable the wheelmouse would be the same for all versions.
I am currently working in access2000 and access2003 and if there are specific solutions for these
two versions I would be interested.

The code using the mousehook.dll works for the 2000 and 2003 versions. It originally came from here. A updated demo in 2000 format is available there.

Hi again

The first solution from matti worked great.
The method is as follows:

1.The form is set to add new records and is set to single form .
2. When the form loads the onCurrent event after initializing some controls is set to Me.AllowAdditions = False.
3. A command control labelled "Add Load" on the form has the code in the onclick event as follows:

- Me.AllowAdditions = True
- DoCmd.GoToRecord acActiveDataObject, , acNewRec

4. the onCurrent event is fired again and sets the form's Me.AllowAdditions = False.

This completely negated the mousewheel from adding new records.
Some additional benefits acrued:

- the mousewheel could still be used in my continuous records subform.
- the mousewheel could still scroll backwards to the just added records.

Thanx again for all your solutions
