Is there a way to disable the F-11 key to prevent runtime installations from opening the database window?

MLH
If I give someone a runtime app,
they can open the database
window by pressing the F-11
key. How to prevent???

Access 97 says nothing about F-11.
Obviously Bri is not using my installation
of A97 or my HELP.


You're ignoring the index. If you open help, there are three tabs.
The full-text search is on the 3rd tab. This is where you need to
type the search phrase.

Wow. I'm glad I posted here.
I got my answer after reading
only about 3 lines one guy
tossed out - seemingly not
bothered at all about the
fact that there were 67000
other doors I could-a-knocked on.

I am using AC97 SP2.

I am using AC97 SP1 Build 2600
F1 for the Help assistant
Disable F11 - One topic returned
Disable F-11 - Many topics returned, had to look at them to see which
one was pertinent Yeah and if I type the same thing, the annoying little
paperclip prick just makes faces at me asking what
would you like to do and each time I click search it
re-starts the cycle. OK. Whats the point? So I'll get
around to fixing it one day. In the meanwhile, I'll ask
questions and beg the forgiveness of those of you
who are annoyed by it.

If this doesn't work for you then I sugggest that you reinstall Access
(or run the install checker) as there is something wrong with your help
files. While you are there select all the options for all of the
advanced help (gets you VBA help).

Something wrong with your help files could explain a few things.

Yep. You are exactly right. There it was. I've always used the middle
tab. It found a lot more than I would likely have read, as one of my
virtues is not reading - I find it frustrating to traverse too much
material to get to an answer. The PROBLEM is no longer the
problem, if you know what I mean. The PROBLEM turns into a
a mountain of text to excavate in order to find an ant-hill of
solution.

Sorry, I'm just being real. That's the way it is with me.
Thank-you for giving me a heads-up on he 3rd tab.
I'll make more use of it.

Enable or disable keys that display the Database or Debug windows,
menu bars, or modules
1 On the Tools menu, click Startup.

Show me

2 Click Advanced.
3 Clear or select the Use Access Special Keys check box to
enable or disable the following keys.

Keys Result
F11 or ALT+F1 Brings the Database window to the front
CTRL+G Brings up the Debug window
CTRL+F11 Toggles between the custom menu bar and the built-in
menu bar
CTRL+BREAK Stops code from executing and displays the current
module in the Module window
Notes

· Changes to this setting in the Startup dialog box won't take
effect until the next time the database or application is opened.
· Whether or not you select the Use Access Special Keys check
box, if you select the Allow Viewing Code After Error check box you
can display the Module window to debug code after a run-time error
occurs.
· If you clear the Use Access Special Keys check box and you
specify a custom menu bar in the Menu Bar box, the built-in menu bar
isn't accessible.

· If you clear both the Use Access Special Keys check box and
the Display Database Window check box, it's possible that users can
still access the Database window. This can happen when a user tries
more than once to open the same database from the list of
most-recently-used databases, which automatically appears on the File
menu. To prevent users from accessing this list, replace the File menu
with your own custom menu.
· For a list of issues to consider when setting options in the
Startup dialog box, click .

Well, if that's the real you, I'm not interested in helping the real
you, since the statement above makes you look like a lazy wanker.

Do your own homework, the way the rest of us have done it.

Look in Access Help (you're using the very best version of Access
Help there ever was -- it's all downhill after A97), and Google
Groups. If you don't find anything *then* post here. Or if what you
find doesn't make any sense, or you can't figure out how to make
what you find work.

The fact that you use the frigging paperclip is yet another piece of
evidence that you are just a complete idiot.

Turn it off and you will have a much more user-friendly program.
