Disable Shift Key in Access 2007?Hello,
How do I disable the shift key in Access 2007? I am building a front-end database to be deployed as an ACCDE and want to prevent the users from viewing the underlying components. I understand how to accomplish this in previous versions of Access but am unable to find any reference to the AllowBypassKey property, or shift key disabling, etc., in the version 2007 documentation. Might be missing something obvious, so any help is appreciated. Thank you. -- Jason Brady Brady Systems Solutions, LLC Lynnwood, WA USA

However, with accdb/e, you cannot stop people from reversing what you have done since workgroup security does not apply with accdb/e files. The only way we could come up with to do this in a discussion at UtterAccess.com was along the lines of that described in the PDF file at http://www.pdtltd.co.uk/pdtl/technicalresources.htm. Alan Cossey Alan,
Thanks for the information. I tried to use the disable technique from Access 2003 but it did not work (add AllowBypassKey property to the Database collection, set value to False). No error message was displayed, either. At least the back-end database is password-protected. Still, it is suspicious that Microsoft makes no reference to the property nor specific mention of a method for disabling the bypass key, unlike the 2003 documentation. Work in progess?
