I've designed a database that works fine, but I'd like to limit end-users ability to access the database other than what I've already setup in the 'start up' in the Tools menu. I have the viewing database disabled during start up, yet anyone can press the F-11 key and view the database structure. Is there any way that I can disable the F-11 key by writing code in the form on-load event?
 
When I set up the Start up, I uncheck the following:
Allow Full Menus
Display Database Window
Allow Built in Toolbars

Then click on the Advanced button and uncheck:
Allow Viewing Code after error
Use Access Special Keys

I suggest that you make a copy of your database and test each of the above one at a time till you find the one that locks out the F11 key. I don't remember off hand which one it is.
 
Hi!

The one you need to uncheck is Allow Access Special Keys.

As a post script, I'm thinking that what you need to uncheck for start up is the "Use Access special keys" under the Advanced button.
Hope that works for you.
 
Thank you all for replying and your help.
