    Stopping the F11 key.


    I'm trying to create a secure version of a database, I have a password based system which puts restrictions on a users navigation through forms, and does not allow anyone using the db to look at the source code. The problem is the f11 key, punch that badboy and you can see everything. I think you could probably accomplish the same thing with shift override, Solutions?

    Have you considered *only* releasing an ACCDE file?

    No, I hadn't, I'm actually new to access, and am a fairly new member on the project I'm working on. From my googling it seems that the ACCDE does a good job of securing the code, do you know how this works? Could you also tell me, what are the downsides to releasing an ACCDE file? I'm wondering why the more senior software engineers haven't thought to do this.

    The ACCDE file has the source code stripped out along with other options changed. Be sure and keep your ACCDB protected. Some ACCDE files have some difficulty running under the RunTime manager.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
