Excel 2007 - Macro Shortcut Key Doesn't Work

[John Schneider]

Using Excel 2007, I created a macro in the VB Editor. I then tried assigning
ctrl-h as the shortcut key: Developer Tab -> Macros -> Select newly created
macro -> Options -> h -> OK -> Cancel. When I go to a cell in the
spreadsheet and hit ctrl-h, I get the Find And Replace dialog, which I don't
need for this spreadsheet. I then tried using other keys instead of "h". If
it is an unassinged key (i.e. "e"), I just get a beep. If it is a default
key, I get the appropriate dialog. From what I've read, if you assign a
shortcut key to one of the existing defaults (in this case "h"), it is
supposed to override the default.

No matter what key I try to use, nothing works. What am I missing here?

Thanks

Works okay here. Can you do it to a new workbook?

Jim,

Thanks for the response. Just tried created a new workbook from scratch,
and I'm having the same problem. I've looked through all the settings I can
think of, but still can't get a simple shortcut to work.

Any other ideas?

Sorry I forgot to update this thread when I resolved the issue. The problem
was that I was not saving the workbook as a "Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook".
