Ctrl+F6 is totally standard. It is, and always has been, the key combination that you use to cycle though the open windows of a single MDI application. Alt-TAB is the standard way of cycling though all the open applications. In this context the VBA editor is one application, and the MSAccess window is another application: you'll see them both listed as such in Task Manager. Alt-Tab 'works' when you use the "Show Windows In Taskbar" option as that forces Access to treat each MDI window in the Access application as if it was a discreet SDI window. Leave that option unchecked and you'll find that Ctrl-F6 cycles the database object windows too. I never figured out why anyone would want to clutter their taskbar with all those extra icons, so I never use that option myself :-) HTH Lambert -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Jennifer Gross Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2008 2:13 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Access Requests Thanks Gustav. That will take a bit of getting used to and may not be any easier than going to the mouse. It still would be great if it were on the "standard" Alt-Tab so that if you Alt-Tab'd to the modules window you didn't then have to switch to Ctl-F6 to move between modules. Just like moving between open forms, reports and tables uses Alt-Tab if I Show Windows.
