Disabling SHIFT key to deny access to database window in an MDE file

48 New Member
hello
i have a database that ive converted to an mde because its going on the network and will be accessd by various users. on the startup option i unticked all the options available so users wouldnt tamper with the underlying functionality of the database. my problem is when i hold down the shift key and open the database it opens the database window. you can't do anything to the forms but my main problem is there is no protection for the tables. you can change the structure and even delete them and im worried some of the users may do this. i decided to split the database but still the links created still allowed users to delete or change tables as long as i hold down the shift key while opening the database. is there a way i can disable the shift key to avoid complications.
thankyou

You can also password protect a whole database if you want.

Hi everybody. I've got a problem. I'd like to avoid opening a new window when you have pressed the shift key and you click in the left button of the mouse. I've tried the next solution, in the body of the page I put the next code: <BODY onkeydown='notOpenNewWindow();'>

Hi All, Firstly, I am aware from reading previous posts that if someone is determined enough, they will crack an Access Application. However, this problem seems basic but I can't find a workaround. I have a frontend/backend database at work which contains some sensitive information. I have used Access security along with my own and have disabled the shift key at start-up. I thought this was quite secure but I have found that someone...

If a user starts up access while holding down the shift key, the database will open without going to the startup form. This allows the user to actually open a table and change data that he would not normally be able to change. His user name would not allow him to open a form that give him access to all fields in a record. Normally he is restricted to a form that only shows fields that he is allowed to change. Is there a way to keep...

Apologies if this has been covered recently - I lurked and saw nothing. I have an application that does ticketing at a three-screen movie theatre, and I'm using the function keys F1 thru F12 due to their intuitive layout. I KeyPreview them to the form, and read them using the KeyDown event (since KeyPress doesn't see non-ANSI keys). Everything works fine, EXCEPT.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...
