How to hide the shutter bar for good

[SmallTime]

Hi All,

Im currently using the blow to show hide the shutter bar (object viewer pane on the left). However I've just realised that if the user pushes F11 the sutter opens opens if hidden. How can I ensure that at runtime the shutter bar isn't available, at all, no matter what, zilch access to viewing objects, never ever.

If Me.CmdHidePane.Caption = "Hide Pane" Then
'hide
Me.CmdHidePane.Caption = "Show Pane"
DoCmd.SelectObject acForm, , True
RunCommand acCmdWindowHide
Else
'show
Me.CmdHidePane.Caption = "Hide Pane"
DoCmd.SelectObject acForm, , True
End If

Many thanks
SmallTime

1. Go to Access Options and to Current Database and uncheck the USE ACCESS SPECIAL KEYS checkbox.

2. Use the code here to disable the shift bypass key:

Many thanks Bob,

I've been developing in A2K for some time and only just recently switch to 2010 jumping all in between versions, and this new layout is realy throwing me.

Now that you mention it I recall seeimg this code before, in facts its already in my code library.

Thanks for nudging me back on the right track.

Kind regards
SmallTime

Thank you Bob and SmallTime, I needed to use this question to solve the same problem.

I think you need something like "Demo1A2002.mdb" (attachment, zip).
Open form and see.
