How do I bind an action to a single key in Outlook? With a message selected,
if I hit 'a', or 'w', etc, nothing happens ... i want to capture that and
perform an action (macro/VBA). Enter and spacebar are bound somehow, now how
do i bound something else?

Thanks

You may right click the toolbar, customize, macro, and drag the name of your
VBA function to the toolbar. Then don't close the dialog but right click the
new button and edit its name. For instance, 'My&Button' will use 'b' as
accelerator, i.e. your code might be called by pressing alt+b. You just have
to find a character that is not yet in use.

A little confused, but close: is "My&Button" as a name a particular syntax
that dictates Alt+b?

What is the syntax for assigning just 'd' to that macro that i right click,
forinstance?
