[mso] Re: Locking form designs

In the design view of the form, in properties, you can set the shortcut 
menu to no for each form you want to lock.  You can also set up custom 
toolbars and control which ones open with each form, and even to the level 
of the database startup by setting toolbars/menus properties in the 
startup menu - tools/startup. 
I am not that familiar with all that's involved on that side because I use 
..mde's and distribute via batch files, but am sure someone can provide 
more assistance along those lines.  My personal favorite way to lock down 
a form design is to distribute a .mde version of the database.  That way 
the code and design is inaccessible to anyone.  The main .mdb version is 
kept for development/updates, etc., and the .mde is created via 
tools/database utilities/make .mde.

[mso] Locking form designs







Hi folks,
Great group, I learn a lot of neat stuff from you people.
Question:
I use Access 2000 and thought there was a way to set the properties on a 
form so that the user could not access the "Form Design" mode by right 
clicking and selecting from the drop down list.  When locked, right 
clicking the mouse has no effect.  I have an older form that is set up 
this way but I can't figure out for the life of me how I did it. Getting 
old I guess.
Anyone have any ideas?


Thanks for all the help 

Ron
