Hiding database window

G

Guest

I've set up user level security by allowing users to only read. I know if you
hold down the shift key while opening a database, it will display the
database window. Is there a way to disable that and any other way to display
the database window? I would like to totally hide the design and database
window from everyone except me. Is that possible?

you can set the database's AllowBypass property to False, to disable the
"shift key bypass" action. for more information, see
http://www.mvps.org/access/general/gen0040.htm

*warning*: make sure you try this out on a COPY of your database, so if you
have problems with it, you don't lock yourself out.
also, suggest you bookmark the mvps.org website, as well as bookmarking
http://home.bendbroadband.com/conradsystems/accessjunkie.html
the two sites are two of the best Access references on the internet, and
you'll find them very useful.
