Using Keyboard Shorts in MS Access 2007 Macros

It's been years since I've created a macro in MS Access (I am a ColdFusion programmer now), but I need to do some work in an Access database. I searched for an answer but couldn't find it, so that's why I'm posting it here.

I know that the ^ symbol is the equivalent of the Ctrl key on a keyboard, but I cannot remember what Alt and Shift are for creating macros. Can anybody help?

For example, one macro name is ^p with the action of RunCommand, Command, PrintPreview.

How do I make it run when Shift+Ctrl+P is pressed instead of just Ctrl+P?

Thank you!

Hello Sandy,

Here is a link to a site that gives you all of the keyboard short cuts in Access
HERE

I'm not sure if you can change them I am looking/asking around to try and find out if you can. As soon as I find out for sure I will get back to you ASAP.

Good luck and have a good one!
