MS Office Forum / Excel / Programming / December 2007VBA Programming Enviornment & Intellipoint
Wondering if anybody can provide an answer to this: Some time ago, it appears that the Microsoft mouse using intellipoint drivers "broke". That is, the programmers developing the Office VBA programming enviornment apparently didn't bother to read the MS spec for the wheel mouse and after a certain version of intellipoint, the wheel stopped working in the VBA enviornment forcing programmers to rely on moving the mouse pointer to the scroll bar and doing it manually. I have not used MS intellipoint (been hard core Logitech - till now) for quite some time, but due to ongoing issues at Logitech, am considering going back to a MS keyboard/mouse combo. Can anybody tell me if the wheel works as advertised (to include VBA Programming Enviornment) now with MS intellipoint? This issue, as well as the issue where intellipoint "broke" the screensaver are the two that have kept me from using MS keyboard/mouse. BTW, using Vista as well as XP Pro and Office 2003 on different machines. TIA Steve Never worked AFAIK until Excel 2007.
