Disable Design View shortcuts

[Johnny Drama]

Hi all,

I want to keep users from accidentally stumbling across the design view option when they right click on a form. I need to keep the "allow default shortcuts" option checked in the database options so they have right click functionality to sort, hide/unhide fields in datasheet views.

I've created shortcuts to the forms in a custom group and on the property of each form shortcut I've checked the disable design view shortcuts checkbox. If I click the shortcut it works fine, but once I close the DB and restart it I can right click and get the design view option again.

Any thoughts?

This thread might give you some pointers

An accde file is not an option at this time. I'm looking specifically for a way to utilize the disable design view shortcut option as it is probably the quickest way to achieve what I need. Thanks for the link, but can't use it t this time.

If you check out Aphrodite in the sample forums, you can specify the shortcut menu. You can thank Chris-o for the code.

edit-Aphrodite will have a new release in the coming weeks featuring a ribbon builder. I'm still working on it, but it's already looking good.

...and because speakers_86 is too modest to put a link to his sample you can find it here

Modest? HA! I've told referred people to Aphrodite so many times. You are kinda right though, I never really feel right advertising my own work like this. I could have just as easily referred him directly to Chris-O's upload.

But when I have the ribbon builder ready, I really think you guys will like it. It's only partially done and I can see already how much it will help with writing XML. I'm probably going to start a new thread and ask for feedback when it's ready.
