Shortcut Keys
Hi,
I am developing an Access App & I want to 'listen' for keys to open specific forms from anywhere in the app. For example <Crtl & S> opens the suppliers form.
I am using code like:
Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
If KeyCode = vbKeyF1 Then .....
But can't work out how to listen to key combinations such as Ctrl + S
Cheers
Doug

Here you go also:
Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
'Shift Argument for the 7 combinations of Shift, Ctrl and Alt keys:
'0 None
'1 Shift Key
'2 Ctrl Key
'3 Shift + Ctrl Keys
'4 Alt Key
'5 Shift + Alt Keys
'6 Ctrl + Alt Keys
'7 Shift + Ctrl + Alt Keys
'----------------------------------------
End Sub
Howdo MX, how ya doing!
Very brief visit. Its that time of the year when I need to get 3k points just to keep my membership alive, ha!
For specific code wise, MX version better obviously. A dirtier way is to store the last key hit. Not as elegant of course
Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
Static iLastKeyCode As Integer
If iLastKeyCode = 17 And (KeyCode = Asc("S") Or KeyCode = Asc("s")) Then
MsgBox "CTRL=S Hit"
End If
iLastKeyCode = KeyCode
End Sub

doh!
doh!
That time of the year, huh. Seems to be that time of the 'month' for some people I know, lol.
Also, for someone with 5.37 million pts ... how the hell could EE require you to get 3K / month to keep it status quo!!! Just not right!

well its all about money I guess. Im not sure how I amassed the points this year, must be due to cleanups as I have hardly been here.
btw ... been a couple of great discussion with our friend Leigh:
