Function Keys

[Johnhi]

Is it possible to assign a function key to run a form when the DB is open?

When I open the DB the switchboard is automatically loaded.
When working in the DB (changing things around), I close the switchboard.
Can I use a function key to reload the switchboard rather than searching through the list of forms?

Interesting approach, one I do not have an answer for. Have you considered simply minimizing the Switchboard form?

You can assign an action or set of actions to a specific key or keyboard shortcut by creating an AutoKeys macro group. When you press the key or keyboard shortcut, Microsoft Office Access performs the action.

Thank you for your reply. I saw this help in help, however it seems to apply to access 2007 - and I have 2016 and while I can find the macro button I am lost from there.
Is there instructions for the 2016 version of Access.
