Default using scroll wheel in vba window

How come my mouse's scroll wheel doesn't work in the VBA window? It works in
the main XL window and every other application on my PC.

Is there some setting that needs to be enabled for this?

You need something like FreeWheel:

Interesting.

Is there some logic to scrolling via the mouse wheel not being enabled in
the VBA window?

Seems rather odd.

I have no idea why direct wheel support is not provided.

Who knows, maybe its one of the many great improvements that's coming with
the new version of Excel.

In other posts, a few people have reported that xl2007's VBE does support this.

Hi Dave,
Since I didn't see a reply where you said it worked..

In general usual answer is to make sure your drivers
are up to date.

VBE problems with scrolling: make sure you do not have
exceptions in Control Panel, Mouse, General, Advanced
or for some older drivers there is a tab near the end
or from Wheel tab, Wheel trouble shooter, Advanced button
remove any added override that does not respond to scrolling
or for some make sure Use MS Office Compatible scroll is checked (even if available may not be needed)
If still not working see this thread
