Hello to all of you. Actually, to create a shortcut key for a button, I am adding & before its name as shown in the picture, due to which it has become a shortcut key for that button. But the problem is that when the shortcut key is pressed, that button gets clicked, whereas I want the button to got focus when the shortcut key is pressed. Please explain how this can happen.
Thank you.

you want to goto the button, but not click the button, so the user can click the button?

Actually, I want that once the user gets stuck on a button, then he can move to the desired button using the arrow keys on the surrounding buttons and hit enter.Originally Posted by ranman256

Can't the user do that using the Tab key?

Thanks Bob this method is working.
Actually, as shown in the figure, on clicking the Add Master button, a list box opens, on which five menu options are exposed.
How can I go up and down on these?
Also on this button Alt+M sometimes works sometimes not why is this happening?
Thank you.

Arrow keys.

I agree wit Micron. Using the arrow up/down keys should enable you to navigate the list.

Likely you have some code preventing that. Possibly this key capture code? Easy enough for you to see if it runs when arrow keys are pressed.

I didn't need to. Minty diagnosed the problem in post #10.
To be perfectly honest, I'm surprised that you couldn't find this yourself.

Post a copy of the db to illustrate that. I just the following three lines and then the arrow keys seemed to work as required
DoCmd.OpenForm Me.List74.Value
Me.butadd.SetFocus
Me.List74.Visible = False
