John,<br />
<br />
Not sure what you mean. &nbsp;You can assign a keyboard shortcut to a button by setting the caption to something like: &nbsp;&amp;Save<br />
<br />
The ampersand will make the S a hot key that can be activated with Alt-S
</div>


<div>
This is what I am referring to. &nbsp;I would like to assign something like Alt S. &nbsp;is there a character I can use for Alt or I can only use &quot;&amp;&quot;&nbsp;for a hot key?
</div>


<div>
What if I already have a caption for the button? &nbsp;I mean I have a caption of &quot;Switch Board&quot; already on the button.
</div>


<div>
Welcome.<br />
<br />
Then change the caption to &quot;&amp;Switch Board&quot; or &quot;Switch &amp;Board&quot; or put the &amp;&nbsp;anywhere you want. &nbsp;Whatever letter the ampersand preceeds, will become the hotkey, and it will underline that letter.

Experts, can this be done in the properties or some other way? &nbsp;I want to have a keyboard shortcut to a button i/o clicking with the mouse.<br />
<br />
thanks.
