disable startup using Right Shift Key

[Anne]

Hi,

How can I in a MDE-file disable the "startup with Right Shift Key" ?
I tried it in Options --Startup, but can't get it working.

Thanks,

Anne

Startup options do not do anything about the shift key. You have to add a
new property to the file named AllowByPassKey and set its value to False.
If you search these groups or even just Google on "Access AllowByPassKey"
you should find the code to do this.

Typically you allow the shift key on your working file and then run the code
one time on a copy of the file that you distribute to users.
