Completely hide navigation pane Access 2007

[Christine]

Some of my users are running Access 2007 on XP SP2. In one of their DBs,
they have cleared the Display Navigation Pane checkbox under Access Options
so that it does not appear when they open the DB, but clearing the checkbox
does not appear to be working in one of their other DBs. F11 only shutters
it, so with a simple click someone can easily access their tables, etc, and
they do not want this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

you can use a macro to disable the function keys.
The macro must be named autokeys for it to work.
Here is how I set up the macro.

The first line disables Ctl + any function key.
In the Macro Name column type ^{F1}
Condition column - leave blank
Action column - leave blank

The second line disables Shift + any function key.
In the Macro Name column type +{F1}
Condition column - leave blank
Action column - leave blank

Save the macro with the name of autokeys.
I suggest you look up access help on autokey macro to learn more.
