Keyboard Shortcut for Access 2007

I have a small tip for you Microsoft Access people out there.  If you want to make a keyboard shortcut for a button click event or a shortcut for some type of an event in a form, I have a simple way to accomplish this. 

Use the “&” sign followed by the key you want to use as the shortcut after the caption definition and there you have it.  For example, if you have a button with a caption called Close you can create the shortcut by typing the “&C” after the word close.  After you have completed that you should notice the letter C on the button is underlined.  This means typing the letter c on your keyboard will activate the button.  Now you have a keyboard shortcut.  Have fun and don’t forget to comment!

If you have any topic ideas, or you have an article that you want to submit for posting on this blog, email me at jeff.trehern@gmail.com
