How to bullet-proof mde?

I've created an mde out of my mdb in and effort to prevent users from
changing settings/forms/etc. But I've discovered that the database window
is still available if I hold down the Shift key when opening the mde.

Forms can no longer be opened in Design View, which is good, but queries and
tables are still vulnerable. I've unchecked "Display Database Window" in
Tools >> Start Up, but that does not seem to help if the Shift key is held
down while starting up. Is there a way to permanently prevent the database
window from showing?

Other suggestions on making an mde bullet-proof?

Thanks in advance.

Make a copy of your database before trying this.

Click on Tools/Startup and click on Advanced. Remove checkbox on Use
Access Special Keys.

I tried that - does not work. Holding the shift key still brought up the db
window on open -- but still, thanks for the suggestion.

The main problem is the ability to open queries and tables in design view,
as well as change things in Tools >> Options (I hide the command bar with
CommandBars("Me nu Bar").Enabled = False in Form_Open on the main form).
Preventing the access to the db window would eliminate both vulnerabilities .

The Access Security FAQ has the code you need to prevent the shift key
bypass.

I may be thinking about this the wrong way, but here goes: In my style sheet I've specified that bullet points should use a specific image rather than just be default bullet points. However, at some later point in the text I don't want to use the bullet point with an image, but rather use the standard bullet point. Is it possible to switch off a style sheet instruction for an individual instance? Or do I need to define a new style...

When I use image as a bullet within LI element I have different image positioning results in Firefox and IE6. IE6 puts the image on top and far from left LI's border. Firefox puts it nicely in the middle and very close to left border. How do I control bullet image positioning? Please advise a nice hack. Thanks

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
