New mouse want scroll in VBA

P

Paul B

I just bought a new Logitech mouse on Friday and it would not scroll in the
VBA code window.
I sent a question to there tech support and was told

"I apologize for the issue you are having when using the scrolling in Visual
Basic. The reason the mouse is not functioning properly in Visual Basic is
that Visual Basic is 16 bit application and our MouseWare is designed to
work with 32 bit applications.
Once again I apologize for the issue you are having and maybe you can
contact Visual Basic in order to see if they have a patch file that will
work with the mouse."

Does this sound right? Has anyone else had this problem or know of a patch
like this?
Thanks for any input

Hi Paul

I confirm that they don't lie to you.

You could try to use Microsoft Intellipoint instead of Mouseware with
Logitech mice. I've had that work for me before.

HTH. Best wishes Harald

that Visual Basic is 16 bit application

That is simply false. VB(A) is a 32 bit application.

As a remedy, try using Version 4 of MS's Intelipoint software,
not the latest Version 5.
