    Is there a way to promote HOTKEYS

    Like I have a database with lots of different Tabs and I wanted to make hotkeys to navigate between each here is a picture of the backended database:
    Click image for larger version.

    What I want Is like a combination of keys like [Shift] + [t] would navigate to Today tab and so on???
    and for the Tabs in Circle Hotkeys could be like [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [h] for production history.


    But for whatever Main Tab that the user is in the hotkeys only work for that specific Form.
    Yes I know I would have to set up each individual form with a set of hotkeys.???

    yes there is

    If you put an & before a letter on your control it will put an underline under the character immediately following it.

    Then you can hit shift-(letter) and it will activate the control.

    So What if I had more then one with the same letter?
    After I put the & symbol it will automatically make it a hotkey?

    You can underline a different character other than the first.

    So for instance if you had two keys

    Close
    Clear

    you could do

    Clos&e
    &Clear

    so shift e would close
    shift c would clear
