Disable Shift Key. Help!

Hi i'm trying to disable the shift key from allowing users to access
the design view. I've done a search in groups and know i need to
somehow do AllowBypassKey.

Everywhere i look there is code and answers that dont seem to work or
make sense. I want to set the bypass key to be a combination of shift +
B.

Please could someone detail the code and let me know exactly where to
place it and how to get it to run.

I am new to access. And i have looked at examples but no one out there
seems to have detailed a difinative method of doing this.

Please please please help.

Cheers

You can disable the Shift key property so that a user can not open the
db with the Shift key down and bypass your StartUP options.

If you are looking for a code option, you cannot do better than use the
method and code described on the forum below.

I have search googles and there are hundreds of tips about AllowByPassKey... however, none works for me... well, perhaps I am too new to such high level functionality that it just does not make sense to me. So, anyone please help. I have no idea what is "CreateProperty" that Access help was trying to tell me to do. Can anyone please write me a step by step on how to accomplish this? (i.e. disable Shift on Startup.) I've seen many...

Dear All, I add two new tables to the database and then the disable shift key codes don't work. These two new tables are actually created by two queries, and only these two are in the front end, I didn't manage to move them to the back end. I work with Access 2k under Win XP. these are the codes that don't work (it worked for more than a year very well):

I have a code for enabling a command button to password protect the enabling/disabling of the Shift bypass. For some reason though I keep recieving a syntax error when I try to use it.
