Nope, that disables the shift bypass (makes the shift key not work). You can take a look at <a href="http://www.thenelson.name" rel="ugc">http://www.thenelson.name</a>&nbsp;Shift Bypass Functions for more info. <br />
<br />
But thanks. <br />

Utility to open Access with shift bypass 

ShiftOpenAccess.zip

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Anyone know of a way to simulate a shift key press while starting Access? Via a batch file or scripting, etc? I tried the old keyfake.exe but it does not handle the shift key. <br />
<br />
I use a tablet PC so holding down the shift key is inconvenient (open input panel, change to keyboard, click shift, click on database shortcut, wait for database to open, click shift, close input panel). <br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks <br />

Programmatically hold shift key while starting Access.

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.

VB Script

JScript is Microsoft's dialect of the ECMAScript standard that is used in Microsoft's Internet Explorer. JScript is implemented as an Active Scripting engine, so it can be "plugged in" to OLE Automation applications that support Active Scripting, such as Internet Explorer, Active Server Pages, and Windows Script Host. It also means such applications can use multiple Active Scripting languages, e.g., JScript, VBScript or PerlScript.

JScript

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.
