Deploying A2K .adp

[BobMcClellan]

Hello.....
New at runtime so please excuse this basic question.

Can an Access 2000 .adp be made into a run time version?

The .mde secured what I needed but bypassing startup by holding down
the shift key blows that solution out of the running.

any help would be much appreciated.

tia,

You can disable the ability to bypass startup by creating a database
property named AllowBypassKey and setting its value to False. See
http://www.mvps.org/access/general/gen0040.htm for the proper way to create
this property. (Be careful, though, in case you need to be able to get in
yourself afterwards! Either keep a version of the database that doesn't have
the property set and do all of your development in it, or build a "back
door")

But yes, you can convert an .adp to an .ade.

Outstanding!
Thanks for both pieces of information.
I will explore the disabling of the Shift key bypass and also look at
creating the
runtime version of the .adp.

Thanks again Douglas.
sincerely,
