cancel F1 hot-key 3

[nirs]

hi
does anyone know how can i cancel
"HELP" activation while pressing F1

thank you

 

[RoyVidar]

I think I'd consider creating an AutoKeys macro (look it up in the help files), I think the syntax for the MacroName arguement is: {F1}.

[blue]RoyVidar[/blue] is on target!

In the [blue]Macros[/blue] window:
[ol][li]Click '[blue]New[/blue]'.[/li]
[li]Click '[blue]Save[/blue]', set name to [purple]AutoKeys[/purple] (spelling is important!).[/li]
[li]Set the following:
[tt][blue]MacroName Action
********* **********
{F1} StopMacro[/blue][/tt][/li]
[li]Click save & close.[/li][/ol]
Note: the brackets around F1 are the [blue]curly brackets![/blue]

Try '[blue]F1[/blue]' . . . . [blue]shouldn't work . . .[/blue]

RoyVidar, Aceman1,

Brilliant as ever. simple and effective and it even works to disable the F11 key too.

a star each i think


"My God! It's full of stars...

Still Macro has a place its own! Or does it can be replaced with KeyDown/KeyPress Event?
just curios!!

The key events work only on forms or controls, so if you want to suppress/react to the keys hit also on reports, you'll need the AutoKeys macro.

That makes sense. thanks RoyVidar
Also noticed after creating/using a AutoKeys macro if you delete it Access will bomb
Microsoft Access can't find Macro "AutoKeys"
............

Is there anything that I am missing?

Close and reopen the database after deleting the macro.

I can not find it now (need to doo larger search) But this one is available as a download from robotparade.co.uk it will stop users bypassing the shift key. Database file that enables or disables the Bypass Shift Key property in other databases. It is wery good and quick. Also look at other useful items.

PS it saves writting code.

As I suspected. The link is fine for disabling the [blue]Shift Key[/blue], but this thread was about the [purple]F1 Key![/purple]

See Ya! . . . . . .
