I would use the forms KeyDown event. There might be a more global way of doing this. The AutoKeys macro would do it but some people have problems with it. That said, here is how to set up the KeyDown event for each form using Access 97.

The forms Key Preview property must be set to Yes and the KeyCode must be = 0 to prevent that keys normal function from happening, when pressed!

Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
    
    Select Case KeyCode
        Case vbKeyF1
            KeyCode = 0
            MsgBox "The F1 key was Pressed"
        Case vbKeyF2
            KeyCode = 0
            MsgBox "The F2 key was Pressed"
        Case vbKeyF11
            KeyCode = 0
            MsgBox "The F11 key was Pressed"
        Case Else
            'MsgBox "No match!" 'testing
    End Select
        
End Sub

Just remove what you do not need.

HTH

You could also disable it using the Tools, StartUp menu option. Choosing Advance and then Unchecking the Use Special Keys.

However this disables the Database Window (F11), the Intermediate window and code window function keys also.
