Disable F11 key and lock database

[sJ]

I created an Access Application and would like to prevent the user from
hitting the F11 key and accessing the database window to prevent
modifications to tables, reports, queries etc. Is there a simple and
straightforward way to do this?

See the help file entry for "AllowBypassKey". Also see this article:

.... for a way to patch a security hole in the help file's code, if you feel
you need to secure it that tightly.

I should mention that you'd better be very careful how you go about this, or
you could lock *yourself* out.
