    Dear friends,



    In my database i want to have 2 command buttons in order to enabled and disable the Shift control. Does anyone know the vba code which i must use for each case?

    Regards

    As far as I know, you can't disable the keys directly. What you have to do is use the Key Preview event to check every keystroke to see if the shift/control key was pressed, and then cancel the event if it was.

    If you are working with data entered through a form control, you can use an input mask to allow only lower case, or change the data to lower case in the After Update event.

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