I have an option group with 12 toggles within this group. I am having difficulty creating shortcut keys with "&" in the Name because my I would like to use 1-9 numerical keys which is ok, but I am unable to create a two key shortcut to the remaining toggles eg: 10, 11, 12. Hope I am not expecting to much from Access 2000. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Glenn

Actually, you're expecting too much of any programming language! A shortcut consists of one or more special keys, such as <Alt> , <Shift> and/or <Ctrl> and another key. You can't use a special key and two other, non-special keys, in any language I'm familiar with. And to be honest, in almost twenty years, I've never seen this done with an option group. To do this you'll have to use Alpha characters for the other options, or perhaps better yet, use Alpha characters for all choices.

Try using ascii codes and see if Access translates it for you. For example:
Key Value <.............. .....> Ascii
10<............ ............... ..>Chr(49)&Chr( 48)
11<............ ............... ..>Chr(49)&Chr( 49)
12<............ ............... ..>Chr(49)&Chr( 50)
if the ampersand is effecting the "display" of shortcut, try using either, a plus sign or double ampersand && in place of the ampersand with the ASCII above.

Thankyou for your reply.
I am a real novice with access. I understand ascii codes but I am not sure as to where I enter the key value. You help is appreciated.

Hi Glenn,
how are you using the decimal keys you are using now? Are you using the buttons name property or a caption property or ?? A little more info would be helpful....but I would think the ascii conversion shown above would convert to its decimal equivalent wherever you are using the decimals now, but especially in a code proc.

Hi,
I'm trying to set shortcut keys for textboxes. But what is the best way to
do this in VB.NET. In Access it was very simple, just put an "&" sign in
the label that belongs to the textbox. But in VB.NET it looks like you have
to program code for the shortcut keys.
Like putting this code in the Form_KeyUp:
If e.Alt And e.KeyCode = Keys.L Then Me.ActiveControl = Me.TextBox1

I have some text boxes on a form in MS Access 2000. When I right click
in them I don't get any shortcut menu at all. I want the normal cut,
copy, and past menu to come up.
In the "Startup", I have the "Shortcut Menu Bar:" set to (default)
The "Shortcut Menu Bar" property of the text boxes, is empty.
So, where is my cut, copy, and past?????
Thanks....

Hello,
Was hoping someone could suggest possible causes for form command button shortcut keys (ie. ALT+key) not to respond. Thanks :) The form is a search forrm. Shortcuts only work when there are filtered results diplayed. Hope this makes some sense. Thanks in advance for your help and ideas muchly appreciated! :)
