Can the Ctrl+Alt+Del key combination be trapped in a form or control?

[BruceUK]

Is there any way of trapping the Ctrl+Alt+Del combination using VBA code within a form or control to prevent a user from immediately restarting the computer in the event of an Access application falling over?

I've tried using the following code within the KeyDown event for a particular control but it doesn't prevent the restart.

Private Sub txtDetails_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)

If KeyCode = vbKeyDelete And Shift = 6 Then
DoCmd.CancelEvent
End If

End Sub


Have I misunderstood something or is it just not possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i would doubt it's possible, but good question.

I would assume that's a windows function, which has nothing to do with access.

and this probably confirms that:

I wonder if you can disable that stuff WHEN you're in access? could vba touch that functionality I wonder???
