I have an access database that is accessed by few users from different
computers. I was requested to change the behavior of the database if it was
opened on one particular computer to do the following:

1) disable the "Alt-Tab", and "Ctrl-Alt-Delete" buttons so that no one on
that machine can go to the desktop
2) no minimizing of the screens is allowed i.e. the forms should always be
maximized.
3) the main menu should always be on, and the only way to get out is by
clicking the start button on the bottom of the screen to shut down. Is there
away to do that? and can I start the database when the computer starts? I
think there needs to be some API programming to accomplish this?
thanks

Access is not the right kind of program for this task.
It is a Windows program. This person needs a DOS program.

(There might be a way to trap the keystrokes with API calls, but there are
very many other things you would need to trap as well, e.g. to prevent
people runing windows\system32\taskmgr.exe.)
