Keyboard shortcuts to change between pages in a form?

[nish81]

Hi everyone,

I've created a form with multiple pages, where each one is a subform. I want a quick way to switch to a given page. I know about the Ctrl+Tab shortcut, but I want one that takes me directly to a given page. For example, something like 'Ctrl+2' for the second page, etc. Is there any way to set this up?

Thanks!

One way you could do this is add buttons to your forms with captions like &1, &2, &3, ... &9. The ampersand causes the letter or number that follows to be underlined when viewed in form view and also makes it so the buttons code is run when alt + the letter/number is pressed. So the code of a button with the caption &1 would run when you press Alt + 1. The code for these button would simply be the Form GotoPage Method So the code for the button with the caption &1 would be:

Me.GotoPage 1

Unfortunately these buttons need to be visible to work but if you don't want them seen you can set their heights and widths to 0 and they won't show up but still work.

Of course this is only going to work up to page 9.

I've attached a messy demonstration database.
