If you want to be able to enter multiple lines, set the MultiLine property of the text box to True (and set the ScrollBars property to fmScrollBarsVertical).
If you mean something else, please explain.

i have a textbox on a form, the textbox contains some 3000 lines of which 20 lines are visible at a time. Instead of using the vertical scroll bar i would like to be able to scroll within the textbox using the mouse wheel. is this possible?

Text boxes on userforms don't react to the mouse wheel, unfortunately. It may be possible to use Windows API functions to scroll a userform text box with the mouse wheel, but I don't know how to do that.
