Fwd: Access Bypass key disable.txt


1) copy the code to a module [ before ' *********** Code End *********** you see] after then
2) you can use the following procedures to disable and enable the shift key for when you need it....

Function ChangePropertyDdl(stPropName As String, _
PropType As DAO.DataTypeEnum, vPropVal As Variant) _
As Boolean
' Uses the DDL argument to create a property
' that only Admins can change.
'
' Current CreateProperty listing in Access help
' is flawed in that anyone who can open the db
' can reset properties, such as AllowBypassKey
'
On Error GoTo ChangePropertyDdl_Err

Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim prp As DAO.Property

Const conPropNotFoundError = 3270

Set db = CurrentDb
' Assuming the current property was created without
' using the DDL argument. Delete it so we can
' recreate it properly
db.Properties.Delete stPropName
Set prp = db.CreateProperty(stPropName, _
PropType, vPropVal, True)
db.Properties.Append prp

' If we made it this far, it worked!
ChangePropertyDdl = True

ChangePropertyDdl_Exit:
Set prp = Nothing
Set db = Nothing
Exit Function

ChangePropertyDdl_Err:
If Err.Number = conPropNotFoundError Then
' We can ignore when the prop does not exist
Resume Next
End If
Resume ChangePropertyDdl_Exit
End Function

' *********** Code End ***********

Paste the above code into a module. Then you can use the following
procedures to disable and enable the shift key for when you need it.

Public Sub DisableShiftKey()
If ChangePropertyDdl("AllowBypassKey", dbBoolean, False) Then
MsgBox "Shift key access disabled."
Else
Msgbox "An error occured."
End If
End Sub

Public Sub EnableShiftKey()
If ChangePropertyDdl("AllowBypassKey", dbBoolean, True) Then
MsgBox "Shift key access enabled."
Else
Msgbox "An error occured."
End If
End Sub

One problem I note in my version of Access 2003. The error number for
property not in collection seems to be 3265 now, not 3270. If you get
the an error occured message, change the line:

Const conPropNotFoundError = 3270
to
Const conPropNotFoundError = 3265

This code will disable the shift key for everyone, including you. Make
sure that you put a button or give your self some way to run the enable
code even if you don't have access to the database window. Here's how
I do it.

On a form in the database, I almost always have some sort of
administration functions. I put two buttons on there, one for
disabling and one for enabling the shift key. If I am using user-level
security, I just restrict access to that form to only admins.
Otherwise, you can write a simple piece of code to force a password
prompt on the two buttons.

Private Sub cmdDisableShift_Click()
If MsgBox("Do you want to disable the shift key?", vbYesNo,
"Confirm") = vbYes Then
If InputBox("Password:", "Restricted") = "1234" Then
DisableShiftKey
Else
MsgBox "Incorrect password."
End If
Else
MsgBox "Shift key access is not disabled."
End If
End Sub

Private Sub cmdEnableShift_Click()
If MsgBox("Do you want to enable the shift key?", vbYesNo,
"Confirm") = vbYes Then
If InputBox("Password:", "Restricted") = "1234" Then
EnableShiftKey
Else
MsgBox "Incorrect password."
End If
Else
MsgBox "Shift key access is not enabled."
End If
End Sub

Just replace 1234 with whatever password you want to use.
