Quick keys on buttons

[Guest]

I have a form with many buttons and want to be able to assign key strokes to
activate the button - like alt f for file in windows. How do I do that?

In the button's caption place the character "&" in front of the letter to be
associated as a quick key. Look up "Assign an access key to a control" in
the help.

You can make the command button a hot key.
Look up "Hot Key" in Access help.

in the button's Caption property, type an ampersand (&) in front of the
character you want to use as a hot key. in Form view, the character will
show as underlined, and the ampersand will *not* be visible. to activate the
button, press Alt+ the underlined character.
