Lock users but not admin from holding down shift key

[Lori LeRoy]

I have a secure database that is working fine with user
level security, etc. When they open the database I have
it set to open the main menu and hide the database
window. I don't believe anyone knows to hold down the
shift key, but I'm not sure. I know there is a way to
lock users out of that, but not the admin, but I can't
find the notes. Can you help please.

No, there isn't. Either everyone can use the Shift Key or no one. You can
set the property so that ONLY administrators can change this setting, but
once the setting is changed on a particular workstation, that setting is in
effect for all users.

MVPS.org has a code snippet that deals with this ... not sure where, but if
you search for "shift key bypass" on the site I'm sure you'll find it.
