AllowBypassKey?? (2k)

Is there a workaround to gain access to the database design views etc after the AllowBypassKey and AllowSpecialKey properties are set to false? I would like to set both properties to false but would like to be able to bypass the settings if required.

At the risk of stating the obvious…why don’t you just set these properties to true again?

I have a specially designed database that I use to control all this. This database has a list of all the databases that we have, and by selecting the database name and selecting the’allow’ or ‘dissallow’ button, one can enable or disable the bypasskey when desired.

For proper production databases, the development versions have the AllowByPassKey set to false, and this property is only set to true when the new version is ‘rolled out’ and put into production. Again we can remove the setting by using the ‘control’ database if required.

Hope this helps

Now I feel silly I hadn’t thought of keeping an unprotected copy. (It’s my first “real” application!)
