This probably seems like a silly question, but can you open VB outside of Access? I ask because I'm trying to add some code to prevent the mouse wheel from scrolling between records on a form. The MS kb article says to create a new ActiveX DLL project in VB, and I don't see where you can do that from the VB that opens up in Access.
Now, when I go to Help->About Visual Basic it says it is Microsoft Visual Basic Version 6.3. Shouldn't I be able to open it independently of Access?

No, I'm afraid that you can only open the VBA editor from within the application. What you have is VBA, not VB.
