Hey everyone.
I'm creating a macro right now that helps land surveyors calculate all
differential leveling field notes.
The problem I'm having is that I want my macros to run without having to go
into the "tools" menu and starting a macro. I want to create a shortcut key
so that when the user presses it (or the sequence) it will automate the
function.
Is there a way that I can do this? Please help me.

Thanks,
Will S.

Hi Will,

Please click [option] button on the dialogue box named Macro in
tools>Macro>Macros
You can see [Short cut key] on the form named Macro Options.

HTH

Colo :-)

Thanks Colo,

The thing is is that I already tried that. The problem that I have with
that is that when I open the macro on another computer, I have to keep going
back to do that. I don't want the users to do that also. I was hoping that
there might be some code that will work, something like an OnKeyDown. I've
done it before in a VB program I created, but most of the coding I learned I
forgot and I can't find it anywheres.
Hopefully you can help me.

Thanks Again
Will S.

Ok Will,
So try MacroOptions Method.
Here is a sample code from help file.
MacroOptions Method Example

This example adds a shortcut key for the DoRand macro.

Application.MacroOptions Macro:="DoRand", _
HasShortcutKey:=True, ShortcutKey:="Z"

Look in help for OnKey.

Set up your shortcut keys in the workbook_open event.
