Shift Bypass

[box2003]

When I implement the Shift-bypass startup feature in an Access application
(instead of making a *.mde file), is there any way for a user to bypass the
protection of my Shift-bypass feature without first knowing the macro used
to implement it?

I guess I have answered my question, by using an import function from
another Access application and selecting the affected Access database of
question, I was able to expose all forms, queries, and everything else in
the application. The original author hard coded references to an *.mdb file
throughout the current application and it fails in functionality when I
change or make an *.mde file from the *.mdb file.

By "references", do you mean that it references and external MDB once,
in Tools : References, then uses functions provided by that MDB?

If so, then all you probably need to do, is to MDE the referenced
database as well as the referencing one (and change the reference
accordingly). IOW, there are some rules as to whether an MDB can
reference an MDE & vice versa.

HTH,
