Microsoft used to have a simple fix for the mouse wheel to function while in
the VBE. My computer was recently reloaded, the fix was lost, and now I can't
seem to find it on Microsoft's web site.

Can someone help me out with the link to that page or a link to the copy of
the fix?

Thanks much in advance for your assistance.
