that you want to be the hot key. You would do this in the lable property. For example : You have a menu option called "Print Report" and you want the user to be able to get to it quickly by just typing Alt-P in the properties.label for this menu object, enter this "&Print Report" When you generat the .MMB file it option display will say "Print Report" but with the P underlined. The user can easily access this menu option by hitting Alt then P. For triggers, you can also use ON-KEY triggers to define a key to do a specific task. You can also use ORACLE TERMINAL to define key-bindings which will define a key to do a specific task. See the documentation in "Forms Advanced Techniques" in Appendix A "Using ORACLE TERMINAL" I hope this helps you some. Well, Happy Holidays.
