Tab Control Shortcut Keys Don Work

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I have converted an application from Access 2000 to Access 2007. Users like
to use the keyboard rather than the mouse, and have requested shortcut keys
for all button controls and tab controls. The tab controls have been in
place for some time and worked fine in Access 2000. Since conversion,
however, some of the shortcut keys don’t work on some forms. Pressing the
Alt-G on the Contact form, for example, just produces a beep but works fine
on the Company form. Same with other Alt key combinations. Sometimes I get
the message about 2003 shortcut keys, but this is not generally the case. I
can’t see any other controls on these forms with the same shortcut keys. And
most of the forms that have tab controls have some tabs where the shortcut
key doesn’t work. I can’t find any references for problems with shortcut
keys on custom controls. They all seem to address Access or Office shortcut
keys. Does anyone have any insight into this problem.

I can just keep trying until a find a set of key combinations that work on
each form. But these forms are similar in many ways, i.e., each has a
General Info tab, and it would be confusing to have a different hotkey for
the General Info tab in each form.

I’m totally perplexed by this problem and would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks.
