    Access form - Alt +...

    Hi,


    Used to be in 2003 that you put an ampersand ( & ) before a letter, it became underscored. Then you could use alt plus that letter to click the button etc...

    Just tried it in 2010, and although it underscored, nothing happened.

    Is there something I'm missing?

    According to this, it can still be done in 2010:

    Code:

    I don't have 2010, so I can't verify...

    I assume you have a click event for the button in question?

    Any chance you created a hot key conflict, ie. made it the same as a built in hot key combination?
