Access07 - Can you create Shortcut or Special Function keys in Acess?

Hello Experts.

I have an unbound keypad form that I want to the user to be able to bring up whenever they are in a numeric input field.  To do that, I envision them hitting the F7 or some other non dedicated by access Function key.  Is there a way to do this?

Ok... I tried this.....

Created a Macro that I saved as [F7Macro]
in the macro Name field first I tried just hitting the F7 key... it put nothing there so I typed {F7}
Action is RunMacro
Arguments is OpenKeypad,1,1

Created a Macro that I saved as [OpenKeypad]
In that I put
Action OpenForm
Arguments frm_Keypad,Form,,,,Normal

When I hit F7 key nothing happens.... but if I double click on the Navigation bar F7Macro it does open the keypad form.

?????????????????????

Got it............

The step I missed was the Save As.... that you HAVE TO type Autokeys ... it's a hidden option
