				First on the list is mouse wheel scrolling in 
the IDE. We know it should be an addin but 
where is it located? I did a search and found 
a MS KB article. After downloading both files, 
I found the VB6 package to be lacking files 
and the IntelliPoint package did not help my 
particular mouse. I then went to the author's 
blog and downloaded the update.
VB6 MouseWheelFix - Now works in SDI Mode!
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/robgruen/archive/2006/02/22/537288.aspx
Now when I open some code, I can scroll 
using my mouse wheel.
----------------------------
The one everyone likes is MZTools for Visual 
Basic 6.0 MZ-Tools 3.0 works on any 32-bit 
or 64-bit Windows operating system, including 
Windows Vista and Windows 7. MZ-Tools 3.0 
is a freeware add-in for Visual Basic 6.0, 
Visual Basic 5.0 and the Visual Basic For 
Applications editor (provided by a VBA-enabled 
application such as those in Office 2000-2010 
32-bit, except Office 64-bit) which adds several 
productivity features to the IDE. Download at:
http://www.mztools.com/v3/download.aspx
----------------
I realize that this should be in the forum but felt
that there are many of you looking for a little 
assistance and this just might do it.
Happy coding.
Kenneth
