Prevent opening Database with Shift key 6

[Ajwebb]

Hi all,

When you open a database you can skip opening forms by holding down the shift key.

Is there anyway to prevent this?

Thanks in Advance

Thanks Mondoray.

Maybe someone should write an FAQ about this?

Why? That's not security, that's a joke...
If there was a FAQ, those whom you want to prevent access would be able to bypass the bypass key, right?

There is however a way to prevent regular users from deleting the property:

Set prp = dbs.CreateProperty(strPropName, varPropType, varPropValue, True)

Only users with dbSecWrite permission can delete the property. But that means first securing the database through Access security, as you need to remove the 'good old' Admin from such users.

And if you do so, there is no point in hiding something that you can secure better...It would be more annoying for a 'poky nose' to see "No permission for something", would you agree?
