Thanks Bob. Do you know if there are any built-in shortcut keys to access
this menu item?

1) Is there a way to programmatically disable the "protection" choice on
the
"Tools" menu? If so, how?

2) Also, is there a shortcut key that should also be trapped, and if so,
how
is that done?

3) Any other commonly used methods for accessing this option?

Note: This doesn't need to be an absolutely perfect catch-all since it is
really designed to discourage users not supply absolute security. Thanks
much
in advance.
