Mousewheel Event Bug in Version 2412

[isladogs]

There have been several reports of the form / report mousewheel event no longer working starting with Access version 2412 build 18324.20092.
As this issue has so far not been mentioned at this forum, I'm writing this in case it affects anyone here.

For more details on how users are affected, see:
MouseWheel event no longer working - Microsoft Community
MouseWheel Event stopped working properly - AccessForums.net
MouseWheel event always returning Count=0 - Microsoft Community
MS Access Version 2412 Build - VBA to override default form record - Microsoft Community

The event has two arguments that should trigger on mouse wheel scroll in suitable views of a form or report.

• Page (if page changes) - True/False
• Count (number of records scrolled) +/- integer

In the latest version, neither of these work, always returning Page = False and Count = 0.

In older versions, the Count would indicate the number of records scrolled or (if set to whole screen scrolling), the number of 'pages' scrolled.

The issue was reported at the weekend and the Access team have since confirmed this as a bug and that it will be fixed in the not too distant future.
I have written a short article for the AccessForever blog site and will update it once the fix release date and build are known.

If this is an issue in your apps, roll back to version 2411 build 18227.20162 until this is fixed.
