Two finger scrolling not working in Access

Two-finger scrolling on a touchpad is not working on an Access form. It works OK in Excel, so it's not the computer or the mouse/touchpad drivers. It's also fine on the Navigation Pane in Access. If I open a table, it does scroll but is jerky and requires exaggerated finger movements. But if I use the wizard to create a form based on a table, the form won't scroll with two fingers on the touchpad. Yet, it does scroll with the mouse wheel.

Help please.

    I've used Access on a Windows tablet for about 6 years. It works but there are indeed limitations such as the one you describe.

    Some of the more significant issues have been fixed. For example, at one time, the VBE opened with no menu bar or toolbars which made it almost impossible to use.

    See my article: https://isladogs.co.uk/tablet-access/

    I doubt your issue is likely to be high on the priority list for the Access development team.

    I use a USB mouse with my laptop; that works great (if you have the desk space).
