Access to Database Windows: Disable F11 key and “Window”->”Unhind” on Menu Bar

8 New Member
Hi everyone

It is maybe a questions asked many times. I am trying to limite users' access to Database Windows to improve security. I am working on an Access Data Project in Access 2000 format as front end and SQL Server as backend.

The ideas in my mind so far are:
• Disable the F11 key
• Disable “Unhind” function on “Window” on Menu bar, so users can’t go to Window-> Unhind to reopen the database window.
• Disable the SHIFT key – I’ve gotten the answer from the research.

I already have a function to return user’s log on ID. I would like perticular users only who have administrator right to be able to access Database Window in case they need to update the database.

I wonder if I am on the right track, or if there is a function could solve all three issues. Any suggestions for disable F11, and disable "Unhind" function?

Many thanks.

Hi

I think I have find a way to disable the F11 key: on Menu bar go to "Tools", then go to "Startup" and then uncheck "Use Access Special keys" will disable the F11 key and prevent users from pressing F11 to access database window.

However, my the other problem is users still can open Database Window and change database design through "Unhind" function under "Window" on Menu bar. How could I disable the “unhind” function? So people can not reopen the database window through to change the database by mistake.

Cheers

hi all

I thinks I solve the problem. same idea, on "startup" under "Tools", uncheck "Allow full Menus", which will make "Hide" and "Unhide" function invisible.

Sorry for the wrong spelling, it should be "Unhide" not "Unhind"

Cheers

We have a Tkinter application which has a menubar with cascade submenus. I would like to start the program with one of the submenu items state=DISABLED, then change it to state=NORMAL at a later time. I hope I just missed something obvious, because I can't figure out how to change its state. The problem comes about because the menu bar is built by several add_cascade() calls. Each of the cascades, in turn, has several add_command()...

Hi there, Trying to get to grips with MDI applications at the mo and having a bit of trouble with the basics. What I have at the mo is the parent form loading and immediately displaying a child form, which is to be used to log in to the system (username and password entry). When the user clicks connect on the child form, I want the menu's on the parent to become enabled.

Hello Everyone, I have a VB.NET MDI application with a menu 'Window', which MdiList is set to true. The problem I am experiencing is that when the user click on the Window menu the first time, the next menu on the right ('Help') opens instead, even though the mouse's pointer is over the 'Window' menu. If, at this moment the user moves the mouse a little (but still over 'Window') the 'Window' menu appears and from there it functions...

I've created a simple MDI application and have designated the Window menu to keep track of the mdi children. When I first load an mdi child, it's caption consists of "File: no file loaded" and this is what appears on the Window menu. Now, after the mdi child loads, I call a method to load a specifically named file. At this point, the child changes it's caption to reflect the new file name. Unfortunately, the Window menu does not update...
