Microsoft Access Force AutoStart Macro to Run As you read previously in MalekTips, it is possible to stop the autostart macro in Access. If you have programmed a database and want to make sure this macro runs (it can't be stopped), search the Access help for the "AllowBypassKey" property. The help file explains this property (when set to false, it prevents the SHIFT key from stopping the startup properties and the AutoExec macro), and it provides some functions you can use in your database to utilize this trick.   Add: Del.icio.us | Digg | Furl | My Yahoo!   Discuss This Tip Print This Tip Get E-Mail When New Tips are Online Return to the Microsoft Access page.
