Ctrl F

[Pass-the-reality]

We have associates who would use the Ctrl F feature to search for records.
With this, people would type in the fields by mistake. I added the
Binoculars and told everyone that the HAD to use this to search..... it
worked for a while, but people are still searching within the fields. Is
there anyway I can change the settings so that you can not Ctrl F within a
field - for example Group Name.

Have you tried using an Autokeys macro? I think it should be possible to
re-direct Ctrl F to, say, open a message box informing the user "Use the
binoculars button I set up to search!"

Note: I haven't tried specifically redirecting Ctrl F, but I think it should
be do-able.
