Short cut key question

Does anyone know of a way to disable the short cut keys functions in Access 2000 without disabling their function in the Windows 2000 environment?

For instance, in Access 2000, using Alt + F1 will switch from form view to the database window view. However if one disables the Alt key in Access to prevent this, then when someone is in the form they cannot use the Alt key (along with the Tab key for instance) to switch between windows on their PC. Any ideas? Thanks for any help.



 
I think the AutoKeys macro still works from the old days of Access. Just create a macro named AutoKeys, put %{F11} for the Macro Name, and no Action. Now Alt F11 will be disabled. Search Access Help for AutoKeys. But it's not foolproof.
