[AccessD] Disabling Ctrl-A

Ah, I knew there would be a simple solution - Thanks Lonnie.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the other problem - manually selecting all 
records with
the mouse, then copying them to the clipboard.  I don't want to disable 
Ctrl-C because it is useful elsewhere in the programme.  Is there a way to 
check if records are selected (any number of records - not just all of them)?
