Hi http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/ubb/smile.gif

In my form there is a button which open popup form for seeing the avalaible options. I m trying attach a function key to open that form...or any other key for that matter. I m aware or alt+some key...thing....so just want a single function key to be pressed to open a popup form.

Cheers!

Hi aqif,

if you wanted to use F3 for example then set the KeyPreview event of the form to yes and on its KeyDown trap for the particular button that you are after. i believe that these are common to all keyboards, but i might only think that as i work in a corporate environment - ymmv. Just be carefull you don't use a button that's already spoken for http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/ubb/wink.gif

eg.

Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
If KeyCode = 114 Then ' F3 on my keyboard
Command0_Click
End If
End Sub


HTH,

Drew
