If you are still using Win9X, there are ways to do it (you fool Windows into thinking that a screensaver is running), but that doesn't work on NT,2K or XP. It would be possible by writing your own GINA, but I really don't think you want to go there. That's certainly not an Access or VB solution. Take a look at (watch for linew wrap) http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/security/security/winlogon_and_gina.asp One possible commercial solution is: "KeyboardControl Software Development Kit allows your Win32 applications to filter out any keystroke or combination keystroke such as PrintScreen, Alt+Tab, Alt+F4, Ctrl+Tab, Ctrl+Alt+Del, Alt+Esc, Ctrl+F4, etc. on all versions of Windows including Windows 95/98/Me and Windows NT/2000/XP" See http://www.meliorasoft.com/kits/keyboard/index.htm -- Lexacorp Ltd http://www.lexacorp.com.pg Information Technology Consultancy, Software Development,System Support.
