    using alt as a shortcut key/list of symbols for shortcut keys

    What would be a "code symbol" for the Alt key that I can use as a shortcut to link a sub to? For example Shift Key is "+", Control Key is "^" in the following assignment:

    What about the Alt Key?

    Also, is there a source on the web/link anyone knows of that lists all keys of the keyboard and their symbols that VB would recognize, and that I can use as a shortcut to trigger subs from?

    Thank you

    You either quit or become really good at it. There are no other choices.
