In your movie proerties, there is a checkbox for enableeditshortcuts or something similar.
That allows you to disable common keyboard shortcuts for copy, paste etc..

Hi,

I see you are asking about Director and Access databases,
I'm about to do the same and have already checked out the various alternatives, V12, Valentina, FileFlex and ADO Xtra.

As this is a CD rom project and I only need to read the Access database I have elected to buy ADO Xtra Lite at $199.
This is capable of reading straight from the Access database and is not a standalone program like V12.

If you do go down the ADO Xtra route let me know, we may be able to assist each other.

Thank You. The thing is I am working on a project in a company but as an attachment from school. I have to make use of what they have instead of asking them to buy. Therefore I am finding ways which I can do this without any extras. FOr now I am developing a database in director itself which can satisfy the needs of the company but I still need to do another vsersion that have to suit the school criteria of using a REAL database program because I need to add in design of the database.
