Remove Ctrl Keyboard Shortcuts

[Larry R Harrison Jr]

How do I disable, say, CTRL-O from opening a new database? I know how to
remove special shortcuts in startup options, and how to create custom
toolbars, but can't seem to get rid of (for instance) CTRL-O opening a new
database.

Tips?

Larry,

You may be able to trap keystrokes from a form and suppress the default
actions. Look at the KeyPreview and KeyDown properties of a form.

Look at using an AutoKeys macro for keystrokes you want to disallow
throughout the application.

e.g.
Design a new macro
Display the Macro Name column
In the the Macro Name column enter ^O
In the Action column enter Beep
Save the macro and name it AutoKeys

Now when you press the Ctrl-O combination you will get a beep instead of the
dialog.
