control allow bypass key on another database (1 Viewer)

[roblow]

Hi guys, I had but lost a access database that allowed me to set the allow shift bypass function of another database, I've been trying to find it but no luck.
I forgot where i downloaded the database from, does any one have something similar?
Kind regards
Rob

"Database Properties setter (open source version). Can be used to change properties of an MDB or MDE without opening the target database. Set such properties as AllowByPass so shift key can be used to bypass startup. Works on secured files, too." His site is/was http://thatlldoit.com/

I've also got the code to do this in my final article of three about the shift bypass property.
The article also explains how to limit the impact of someone doing this without authorisation.

Manage the Shift Bypass Property

The third article in this series shows how to enable or disable the shift bypass property in your Access databases

This one goes back decades, but I had occasion to use it recently and it still worked.

There was no mention of “face book”. The file I mentioned is stored in a form similar to this one.

Hi, DHookom
That's real strange as that link takes me to a face book page ? don't make sense.

Th OP said they didn't have a facebook account, not that the link went to a facebook page

I think they were confused by the Login with FaceBook and Login with Google buttons?

Still need an account for that site though.

I was thinking it might since I am a member. That forum isn’t very active (like many others) but has some decent resources.
