Assigning a Shortcut Key to a Control
You can make selecting a control easier in a form or report by assigning it a shortcut key (also known as an access key). When you assign an access key to a label or button on a form or report, you can press ALT + an underline character to move the focus to the control. In a data access page—a Web page published by Access—you can assign the access key to the control instead of the label attached to the control.
