Bob,
Thanks for the reply. I agree about changing the registery. It's something I
want to avoid.

I've tried to adjust my LED value to take into account the scroll size
setting, but that doesn't seem to work. I was able to work around the
problem by adding a trackbar and use the trackbar position to adjust the LED
value. Once I do that I can use the mouse wheel to adjust the LED value one
digit at a time. Since I don't need the trackbar I can hide that control.

Thanks,
Steve
