F Keys

[danian]

Is it possible to use F keys to call Forms/Queries. I have used the code below and found when i press F7 spell ceck runs:

Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
If KeyCode = vbKeyF7 Then

Dim stDocName As String

stDocName = "qryDepartment1"
DoCmd.OpenQuery stDocName, acNormal, acEdit

End If
End Sub

I have put this code in the keydown on the form.

Do i need to disable the existing F keys duties

Thanks,
Danian

I advise against doing that since the F keys have a common function for most Windows and Office programs. F7 = spellcheck, F2 = edit, F5 = refresh, etc.

If you insist on going down this path then you should research the AutoKeys macro.

Thanks for that.

Is it the possible to user a different combination i.e.

CTRL & Q

ALT & Q

Thanks

The Access VBA help files will provide you with the information you need on using the AutoKeys macro.
