Turning off the shift key to open up database window

[TBernard]

Does anyone know the actual function to turn off the
ability to hold down the shift key while opening the
database and getting the database window?

If anyone has any ideas let me know.

Thank you,

TBernard

You need to create a database property named AllowBypassKey and set it to
False.

See http://www.mvps.org/access/general/gen0040.htm at "The Access Web" for
the correct way to create this property.

i built a small demo db that demonstrates the code and gives tips on how to
use it safely; in the past year, i've sent it to several people who posted
this same question here in the newsgroups. if you would like a copy, you can
email me at
ttacckillspamess1 at yahoo dot com
just remove killspam from the address, mention the newgroup in the subject
line, and specify whether you want the 97 version or the 2000 version.

I have a ready to go access sample that actually lets you set the shift key
of any of your existing applications.

You can give it a try at:
