open a form by a keypress or as icon on window 2

[MA04]

Hi all,

I don't know if i will be able to do this but i want to have a hotkey shortcut for my form. For example if F7 is pressed my form opens up. Is it possible to do this if database is closed before pressing the button?

If this is not possible is it possible to have an icon on my window for the form. i.e. when pressed form opens up?

Any help appreciated, thanks in advance,
M-.

You can right click on the form icon in the db window > choose create shortcut > choose location.
The shortcut to form will be created there.

Sure.

I created a shortcut for my database and took it to my desktop, i right clicked to its properties, then to shortcut tab, then in shortcut key entered my shotcut button (F10) then o.k. It then works, to get my form to open, I went to tools on form, startup, selected my form on display form and entered a title for it. F10 now opens form.
