How do I disable the shortcut keys?

31 New Member
Morning all,

My database is now secure and hosted on the network and appears to be happily running thanks to several (hundred) posts on this site so thanks to everyone for the help.

One person unfortunately did some final destructive testing for me which seem to consist of nothing more than hitting random keys on the keyboard. This, to my horror, unfortunately this found a fault. Shortcut keys.

I have found a few threads online but these all say that you can disable shortcut keys in the Startup options. Unless I am going totally mad there is no such option in the window that opens up (I am running 2003).

This would appear to be the last kink in the armour so any help is most appreciated

Cheers

Phil

Tools, StartUp, disable Use Special Access Keys. You can also disable any specific Key(s) combination by creating an AutoKeys Macro, assigning the Key(s) to the Macro Name column and leaving the Action column blank, e.g.

'To disable the SHIFT+F12 key combination
Macro Name____Action
+{F12}_________ <leave blank>

NOTE: For specific Key Codes, see the SendKeys Statement.

Hi, I'm trying to set shortcut keys for textboxes. But what is the best way to do this in VB.NET. In Access it was very simple, just put an "&" sign in the label that belongs to the textbox. But in VB.NET it looks like you have to program code for the shortcut keys. Like putting this code in the Form_KeyUp: If e.Alt And e.KeyCode = Keys.L Then Me.ActiveControl = Me.TextBox1

Here's my newbie question: I have several VB forms which are all inherit a standard template form that I made.

Ideally, I suppose I'd like to constantly monitor the clipboard for data, (in a thread?) but I'm not even sure how I'd...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
