Does anyone know of a way to disable the Function Key F11 and the SHIFT key at start-up, so that a user cannot get to the underlying tables and queries of an Access 2000 database. I have set the database up to run all functions from menus and forms but some users try to bypass the menus and forms by using the shift key at start of database and/or the F11 key to get to the underlying tables to manipulate the data.
 
F11 key: Tools>Startup, then click the Advanced button and uncheck the "Use Access special keys" box.

Shift key: Check the forum FAQ for the solution to this.
 
Doing the above works for all but the wise-guys who know the bypass trick.

Disabling the bypass key can be done. There's a good article in the "General" section at this site (The Access Web--which is the only other site I consult for Access info).
