Permenantly Disable Shift Key
Hi Gurus :-) I have a MS Access database that is very sensitive and
therefore i have disabled the Shift Key but still if someone knows how to enable it back they can enable the shift key back. My requirement is to permenantly disable the shift key so nobody even from other MS access file like (http://www.members.shaw.ca/ AlbertKallal/msaccess/msaccess.html) would be able to re-enable it. Your expert opinions and guidence are always appreciated. Thanks FA

Permenantly Disable Shift Key
You can't really permanently disable it. Nothing in Access is every 100 %
secure. The only defense you have is ignorance. If a knowledgable person knows how to enable or disable the AllowBypassKey property, there is nothing you can do to prevent it. -- Dave Hargis, Microsoft Access MVP "FA" wrote: Hi Gurus :-) I have a MS Access database that is very sensitive and therefore i have disabled the Shift Key but still if someone knows how to enable it back they can enable the shift key back.

ULS is also hackable, but it would add an additional barrier layer. -- Rick Brandt, Microsoft Access MVP Email (as appropriate) to... RBrandt at Hunter dot com

Permenantly Disable Shift Key
Rick,
That would be true through 2003, but would not apply to 2007. The OP did not state his version. I agree it would be an extra barrier, but, as you state still hackable. -- Dave Hargis, Microsoft Access MVP "Rick Brandt" wrote: Klatuu wrote: You can't really permanently disable it.

RBrandt * at * Hunter * dot * com- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Thanks all for your opinions but i was thinking if we set the file owner in the code module of disable/enable shift key and if someone that is not a file owner try to re-enable the shift key then it does not work unless the file owner tries to do it. The file owner can be recognized by his/her windows login id. Let me know if this is doable ?

That wouldn't really help. The AllowBypasskey property can be altered
externally, so the code in the file would not stop that. -- Dave Hargis, Microsoft Access MVP "FA" wrote: On May 6, 9:20 am, Klatuu wrote: Rick, That would be true through 2003, but would not apply to 2007.
