HotKey: If certain key was pressed, open form 1

[rennis]

Is it possible to open a form if alt + any letter or shift + any letter was pressed?

so for example, if alt + e = true then
frmForm1.show

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I take it you want to do this from within another form in your application. If so, set the calling form's KeyPreview property to True and use the form's Key_Up event. This event returns a Keycode to tell you which key is pressed and a Shift code which tells you which combination of Shift. Alt and Control was pressed
