Key press event problem

[nina1]

I have three buttons on the form "Save", "Exit" and "Print", when the user save the record it might go to the entry box again (combobox on the form) or might just close the form or print entered record.
My problem is how to recognize user's input. I have shortcuts like Alt + S-Save, Alt + P-print and Alt+C-close, but the problem is to get the focus on the button.
I was reserching the key press event but couldn't figure it out completly.
Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

When you say Alt+S for Save button; the caption must be Save and in the design view it should be written as &Save
Is that correct?

Yes and for Alt-P is the same change, but the problem is that the button needs to hava a focus in order that this shortcuts works.

Set the form's KeyPreview = Yes
or
You need to use three keys ALT+S to get the focus on it and enter key to activate it.

or
How about adding some code on the GotFocus Event?

Private Sub CmdSave_GotFocus()
    Call cmdSave_Click
End Sub

Beware!! This may trouble you some time
