Mouse Wheel & Mouse Drivers
Excel 2002, WinXP
In the past I have lost the mouse wheel function in the VBE (I have never lost it anywhere else). I was told then to download and install the latest mouse driver. I did and that fixed it. Today I decided it was time to download the latest mouse driver, if there was one. I had 4.1 and the latest, I found out, was 5.2. So I downloaded it and installed it. As a result the mouse wheel function in the VBE was lost. I restored my system and got back to the 4.1 driver and all is well again. Does anyone know anything about this and why the wheel function does not operate with the latest, 5.2, driver? Thanks for your help. Otto |

Mouse Wheel & Mouse Drivers
Otto, I have had this happen in the past when I installed a new driver,

Mouse Wheel & Mouse Drivers
Does anyone know anything about this and why the wheel function does not
operate with the latest, 5.2, driver? I'm told that the VBE does not respond to the wheel scroll message so the 4x mouse driver actually issued line scroll messages instead when it detected the active app was the VBE (or something like that). This was removed from the 5x drivers for some reason. I switched back to 4x myself but I know people who stayed with 5x are happy with the utilities Paul suggested. -- Jim "Otto Moehrbach" wrote in message ...

Mouse Wheel & Mouse Drivers
Paul and Jim
I reinstalled 5.2 and, as before, the scroll wheel would not scroll in the VBE. I downloaded the 2 files as suggested by Paul. I installed the VBScroll file and got no results. I then installed the FreeWheel file and that worked. Thanks for your help. Otto "Jim Rech" wrote in message ...
