    Disable Ctrl+F3

    Hi Gurus

    Is there anyway to disable Ctrl+F3 key combination? This is to avoid
    the Task Manager being displayed when the application is open.

    Thanx in advance

    Regards
    Bala

    Ctrl+F3 doesn't open the Task Manager for me, but if you're really so
    inclined you can create an AutoKeys macro to intercept Ctrl+F3, that
    does nothing.

      Hi Tom

      Thanx for the response.

      You are right and I missed giving an important detail. The Access
      Application resides in Citrix and in Citrix environment the Ctrl+F3
      pops up the Task Manager.

      Is there anyway to control Ctrl+F3 combination?

      I have tried disabling the Ctrl (by checking for Shift value and if it
      is 2 make it 0) and also for the F3 in the Keydown Event of form after
      setting KeyPreview event of the form to true. Even the Task Manager
      window pops up.

      Thanx
      Bala

        Chances are that the Citrix client software is interecepting the
        command before it gets to the remote desktop session. You probablyl
        can't do anything about that in Access. You might check to see if
        there's a Citrix setting for this.

          Hi David

          Thanx for the response.

          Yes I believe what you have suggested might be the only way around.
          Have to check with the Citrix guys regarding this.

          Thanx again.
