ACC: Preventing Use of CTRL+BREAK to Interrupt Access Basic

• Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0

SUMMARY

Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

To prevent users from interrupting the Access Basic code or a macro that is running by pressing CTRL+BREAK, you can revoke the users' or group's Read Design permissions on the Security menu. Once you revoke the Read Design permissions of the appropriate users and groups, the users cannot interrupt the execution of the macro or module in which the code exists by pressing CTRL+BREAK.

NOTE: This technique will not prevent users from interrupting query execution by pressing CTRL+BREAK.

NOTE: In Microsoft Access version 1.x, Read Design permissions are called Read Definitions.
