Mouse scrolling WITHIN an Activate Sheet Menu in Excel
Hi All,
I am not sure I posted this in the right forum but I have to start somewhere.
I recently got a new mouse about a week ago and it works fine everywhere except WITHIN an Activate Sheet Menu in a worksheet. It will not scroll at all inside the menu; in the regular worksheet, it scrolls fine.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Can you explain how you bring up the Activate Sheet Menu? I am not familiar with that. Is it a macro you wrote, or maybe a plug-in?

Hi and no it's not an add in. At the bottom of any Excel Worksheet Sheet, where the names of all the worksheets are, there is a scroll option in case you have multiple sheets in the document. I have like 75-100 sheets in this document so instead of manually going one at a time to each sheet until I find the one I am looking for, you can right click on the scroll option and all the sheets show up in a Activate Sheet Menu. From there you can quickly scroll and go to the sheet you need. The problem is that my mouse won't scroll in that menu. Did I explain it clearly?
Yes, perfect. I have never had occasion to use that. I am assuming your problem is with using the scroll wheel on the mouse to scroll. It works fine on mine. Windows should pass the scroll interrupts to any active window. I am guessing this is an issue with the hardware talking to Windows rather than an Excel issue.
What mouse model do you have? Does it have configuration software? Do you have the latest drivers loaded?
It's a Microsoft mouse and I don't see any style numbers on it; I've only had it about a week and dealing with it...it's driving me NUTS. Almost all my documents have a lot worksheets so I use it constantly. I didn't install the mouse, so tomorrow I can have the guy who did take a look at all that and see if it makes a difference. (I'm better with using software not so much knowing a lot about the hardware). I'll get back to you and let you know.
My mouse is a Logitech and has a configuration utility that can be used to customize all the buttons on the mouse. If yours has something like that, there may be a quirk in the configuration. And as with any hardware, you should make sure the latest drivers are installed.
Thank you so much and I think you are right...the guy who installed didn't do anything on my computer except plug it in, so it probably is the drivers. After he checks it, I'll let you know. Thank you, this has been really helpful!
I hope it helped, but you have a weird problem there
It did and yes, it is a weird one! :O
So, it looks like it was a port issue; I have all the latest drivers and all that. We ended up plugging it into a different port in my computer and it recognizes my mouse better. Before under settings it just said it was a "Comfort Mouse"; now it says that it is a Microsoft Comfort Mouse 4500, and it's working. Go figure. Thank you for all of your help because without you suggesting the drivers it wouldn't have got us to this point. Thank you so much!!
