VBA & Automation

How can I completely disable using the Esc key in PowerPoint? I want to ensure that end-users can not disrupt an automatic timed slide show. The slide show starts from an ole embedded object in Access97 & is viewed using PowerPointViewer. While it is running a number of things are happening, including the running of a KRONOS Script file that they are not supposed to see. How do I FORCE them to sit back and watch the entire show.
(Maybe even display an error message if they try to click, tab, page-down, esc, etc.)

The Access program will be on a NT PC with the bare minimums and PowerPointViewer and Access 97. The Access program will start in start up the main screen is maximized & modal; I have keypress events in place that will keep them from exploring. Unfortunately unbound OLE objects do not have a readily apparent way to trap user events! HELP!!!!
I am willing to add code to PowerPoint or Access, whatever will work! Any advice appreciated!
