Shift Key Not Working on startup

[Guest]

Hi, i created a db with a menu window that popups at startup. All OK

I also decided to disable everything in the background from normal users.

The Problem ive got though is when i try to open it to do admin, holding
down the

shift key dosent work im quite sure i didnt select disable special keys.

Does anyone know of a sollution plz

You didn't happen to disable the Bypass key by creating a database property
named AllowBypassKey and setting it to False, did you? When you've got the
database open, go to the Immediate Window (Ctrl-G) and type the following:

?CurrentDb().Properties("AllowBypassKey")

Hit enter, and see what happens. "Normal" behaviour is an error: Run-Time
error '3270': Property not found. If, on the other hand you get False
returned, that's the issue.

Try and hold the shift key a bit longer.
If it doesnt work, try and prss the F11 key, it should bring the objects
back to front, then check if you have a autokeys macro to disable the shift
key.

Mybe somebody can give you a better answer, but for now try and use the F11
key after the mdb runs.
