More specifically, I'd like to disable the scrolling wheel. Any advice on this is greatly appreciated.

If you are using an Intellipoint mouse, go to the Mouse control panel,
select Wheel/Advanced Troubleshooting, and add MS Access to the list of
"disable"programs.

Thank you for your reply thornmastr. I probably should provide more detail on what I'd like to do. I will be deploying a database company-wide and I've turned the navigation buttons off on the forms, yet it is still possible to scroll through the records using the mouse. How can I ensure that arbitrary scrolling through records is disabled?

Oh, that's a bit different.
This is a form by form processs...actually very easy.
Forms properties>other>cycle. I don't remember if current page is available under A97. If not, pick current record. Either one will keep you locked on that one record .

Access 97 has current record and current page. I tried both, but neither worked. Any other ideas? Perhaps, I've overlooked something? Thanks!

Whoops. Well now I know why. Growl. The following is from Dev Ashish.
There was a recent thread over in microsoft.public.access.formscoding. It
seems that while MS has documented the SystemParametersInfo API to be able
to disable the mouse wheel, it doesn't work successfully in Access (and
perhaps Office apps). The new setting of zero scroll lines is simply
ignored.
The workaround would be to use the undocumented AddressOf functionality and
listening in on all messages being sent to Access, and doing something to
cancel the mouse wheel move when it occurs. Details are available under the
API section of my website.
Check this function out. You should be able to modify it and just cancel the request.
