Stop Users from Using Shift Key to see Main Menu

[Lori LeRoy]

I have security levels in my database and an auto menu
when users log in. To increase my security, I would like
to prevent users from being able to hold down the Shift
Key when logging in to see the files.

See the following link for the correct coding on securing AllowBypassKey:

....and this link for a nifty utility to do all the work for you:

Thanks Jeff. I will give this a try. I hope it is not as
complicated as it looks. Thanks again for your help.

You're welcome, glad to help.

Lori,
Don't let it frighten you, but be sure to make a backup of your database
before you try this. People have been known to lock themselves permanently
out of their database.
