Hi gaju Just running at the moment so don't have the time to reply in detail, but have a look for setting the "Autobypass" property to False on startup. This disables the shift key bypass function. Setting it for different users would be a possibility, but you would probably need the useres...

You can also protect your back end (through start up options) by disabling the database window. Also specifying a form to run on start up that states that the back end is protected and on an 'On-timer event' closes the application.

Just a quick footnote For those new to this game - I thought it might be worth mentioning the TransferDatabase Action will also allow exports of Forms and other objects, over-writing other objects of the same name. Again quite cool for remotely updating a users Front end as well.

Or 'Rename' a key table or form on date expired??? (Joining Gary's verbal thinking process)

Hi Dave Thanks for all of this – extremely useful and will form a great template for what I am looking to do! I will just add the words “update patch” to this posting, as I didn’t think of the word “patch” when doing my searches… Yes I can see that the queries run on the tables linked from...

Thanks Dave I'm looking at this now! It certainly runs very neatly! Just looking at the code now. :) (also just trying to imagine no hypothetical questions...!)
