hot key

[mcnewsxp]

i think i'd like to use a hot key combo to invoke an error reporting tool.
when the hot key is pressed i'd like a form to open that would automatically
recieve a value from the form that was currently open and in focus.
i just need a tip how to use a hot key combo, open a form, then grab the
value i need.

tia,

If you mean you want to assign say Alt + R to open your error reporting tool,
type autokeys macro in Access help and then choose Assign and action or set
of actions to a key.
