It is not listed because F10 is a system windows key for activating the main toolbar, i.e. File, Edit, View...etc.<br />

You can still trap the key, just not assign it this way.<br />

Hi Sethi,<br />
<br />
The code worked perfect. But at the same time it has activated &quot;File&quot; menu as mentioned by Bingie. Is there any way to avoid this ? like vbsendkey ?<br />
<br />
Thanks for your help

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
