I would like to prevent users from being able to hold down
the Shift Key when logging in to see the files. I found
the code from the previous awnsers in user groups, but if
i do that then the admin is also not allowed to do the
changes, I would appreciate if somebody would help me in
finding solution that would allow admins to modify and
make chagnes in tables, queries, etc. but users cannot.

Thanks
 
You either have to code some "special" key that you press and it turns off
the shift key.

You can also use my shift key code that allows to switch the shift key
option for ANY of your databases (if they are un-secured)

You can find it here:

On the other hand, if you have a multi-user system, then you need split your
database. That way, you can distribute a front end to each user, and they
can have the shift key locked up.

As mentioned, if it is split already, then you have to provide some form
that you click on a button and the code to "allow" shift key is then run.
(you then must exit..and re-enter the application holding down the shift
key). Since the shift key option is for the whole application, then you MUST
provide a Front end to each user for this concept to be of any use
(setting/unsetting would apply to all users..but as mentioned, multi user
applications need to be split anyway...so this is never really a problem
....is it?).
