Access Keys

[gxd135]

I want to make a key to get to a certain point in my form. I checked the Microsoft Access Help and found that you need to put & + a key in the properties section of the control, but I am not having any luck. Any suggestions appreciated.

For the control that you want to move the focus to when the Alt key and that letter is pressed, you must put the amperand sign in front of the letter [that you want accellerated] in the control's associated label.

Example:

lblShift is associated to tbxShift

lblShift.Caption = "Shift"

If you want set the focus to the control of 'tbxShift' by pressing Alt-S

Type in the Caption Property of lblShift as "&Shift"
