Lock workstation in Access

[hartwell]

Is is possible to lock a workstation while in access on NT4?

was thinking more on the lines of sendkeys as

ReturnValue = Shell("c:\winnt\System32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation", 0)

just wont work.

hartwell,
Paste the following into a standard code module:

Public Declare Sub LockWorkStation Lib "user32.dll" ()

Then you can call [tt]LockWorkstation[/tt] from any place in your code.

CMP

and how do you unlock it???



Program Error
Programmers do it one finger at a time!

ProgramError - when the workstation is locked you get the same dialog as when pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del, Lock computer. Therefore depending on operating system either press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and type your password or just type your password.

Hope this helps.
