macintosh keyboard equivalents

[Jeannie]

If you are using a Mac with Access, is there a place I can find the
substitute keystrokes for the right mouse, alternate key, etc.?
Thanks

I didn't even know you could use Access on a Mac... It must be
running windows.

I would say, depending on what integration program you are using (i.e.
Parallels, or VMware Fusion) check their support site to find the
keyboard mapping.

here's a parralles solution:

will this permanently alter the keyboard? I need it to modify the meaning of
keystrokes only while in Access. Also, will this do anything to accomodate
the pop up menu that users get when clicking the right mouse? There is no
right mouse button on Mac mice.

As for keyboard layout. I just pointed to some solution for mapping.
I don't suggest you remap your keyboard BUT you can get an idea of
where certain keys are located and then use them etcetera.

As for alt key:
It appears to be the command button.

These are parallels solutions and I'm just finding them doing a google
search "Parallels right click" "Parallels keyboard layout" "Parallels
map keyboard" etcetera.

This issue is a Windows on Mac problems, not necessarily MS Access

page 116 shows keyboard shortcuts etcetera. This is assuming you are
using Parallels and not another virtual machine driver.
