I assume what you are referring to is a special Key Combination to open your Calculator Form in Dialog Mode, if so here goes:

1. Create a Macro named AutoKeys.
2. Under Macro Name, enter ^{F8} or any other valid SendKeys code.
3. Under Action, select OpenForm.
4. Under Action Arguments, set your Form Name = frmCalculator or whatever appropriate.
5. Under Action Arguments, set View = Form.
6. Under Action Arguments, Filter Name (nothing)
7. Under Action Arguments, Where Condition (nothing).
8. Under Action Arguments, set the Data Mode = Edit.
9. Under Action Arguments, set the Window Mode = Dialog.
10. Save your Macro but remember, it must be named AutoKeys.

Now, whenever you press the CTRL+F8 Key Combination, your Calculator Form will open in Dialog Mode.
