Quick Key

[Sue Compelling]

Hi

I would like to create a "quick key" to allow my user to navigate quickly to
the field "NewNotes" in my form "FrmContacts"

How do I do this?

TIA

There’s a number of ways to do this. Create a command button and use this
code:

Private Sub GotoNewNotes_Click()
NewNotes.SetFocus
End Sub

Or set the Form’s Key Preview Property to Yes, and then use this:

Private Sub form_keydown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
Select Case KeyCode
Case vbKeyF5
NewNotes.SetFocus
End Select
End Sub

Now hitting <F5> will send focus to the field.

Use the mouse to hover over it and left-click. Sorry, but that's the
quickest method I know! You could set the tab order accordingly I suppose

Try using the macro Autokeys. Very easy to create when using a lot of Quick
Keys. Search Autokeys in Help for instructions.

Hi Link

Thanks for the reply. Have followed your instructions and it comes back
with a "compile error - method or data member not found" and highlights the
..setfocus.

Also - I'd like the quick key to be CTL N - how would I change the code to
reflect this?

TIA
