I want to understand the role Mousehook.dll object plays in application
startup.

Mousehook.dll is a library associated with Stephen Lebans hack for locking
the mousewheel in Access so that it doesn't scroll thru records. The download
and some info on it are located at:
http://www.lebans.com/mousewheelonoff.htm
Are you getting a message that it can't be found? If memory serves, on some
systems you have to make sure that Mousehook.dll is in the same folder as
the database resides in. If this database came from another source and was
installed on your computer, the DLL file may not have come along for the ride!
You can use the link above to download the sample database. When you do,
Mousehook.dll will be there as well.

Forgot to add, depending on how the database is set up, in one or more forms
youshould see some code like this:
Private Sub Form_Load()
' Turn off Mouse Scroll
blRet = MouseWheelOFF
End Sub
which actually does the wheel locking.

As I recall, Lebans mousewheel code doesn't require the dll.

Yes, it does require that dll file.

In most scenarios, a call to the MouseWheelOff function of the MouseHook.DLL
is made in the Load event of a SINGLE form that opens during your apps
startup.
What exactly do you need to know?

I always place it in the OnLoad event of my opening splash screen. I included
the comment about "one or more forms" because, incredibly, there are people
out there who give end users access to the Objects dialog box and have them
open forms by going to the Forms Tab and clicking on the form's name!
And since you're here, so to speak, that's just one great hack of many you've
contributed to the community! Thanks!

You are correct. I misunderstood what I read last on Lebans site.
