DISABLE F-11 KEY

[hmdoc30]

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.
