Re: Prevent Users creating MDB files

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I admit, I haven't tried to load different menu's/toolbars for different
groups (hint: groups better than individual users if possible).

On a typical application, or so I imagine, it's unlikely to want ANYONE to
create new db's. So disable it for all in the application. If you have some
particular reason to create a db, I think I'd create it specifically in code
or something.

I read that you just wanted to disable creating mdb's, presumably from some
app you wrote and not necessarily from full Access. My apps just open up and
close down (so far as I know, equally <g>)

If you are looking to incorporate inherent group or security policies, I'd
have to bow out. I have never heard of a reason to need it, for the title
posted. You just remove the WDT (menus etc) for the whole app, from everywhere
a user can do it, don't you?

Menus and Toolbars can be customised through View, Toolbars. At least for
Forms and Reports, the menu and toolbar to be used is set through the Other
properties of the form or report. To make sure the user only sees your forms
or reports, you disable the database window in particular. Runtime Access does
that anyway, or you can do it in initialisation code or settings
(allowbypasskeys springs to mind)
