You then simple un-check the show nav pane in the current database start up settings and you are done. So this can be used to have F1 launch a custom access “help” form, or re-map any alt keys that are GLOBAL to the application. In the above we could have F11 runcode or do anything we want such as launch a form, but as above shows we simply leave the action code inside the F11 block of code blank. + would be the macro code that runs when you hit shift F11 You can also use ^ for control keys (so you can make a global print key) So create a new macro (not a module) called autokeys. This thus will work GLOBAL to the application.

Thus the simple solution is to make an auto keys macro for the application and include F11. Much worse is if a report is displayed, then a form does not have the focus and again you see the nav pane when you hit F11.Īccess for 20 years has had the ability to run code and take action for any Fkey or alt key hit to run a macro – and these settings are GLOBAL to the application. (this amounts a huge waste of developer time). First, the answers here don’t make sense since if you have 100 forms and 100 reports, then you have 200 objects to modify.
