Shift Click By Richard Rost 24 days ago Shift-Click Button Action in Microsoft Access In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I will show you how to configure a button to perform a different action when the Shift key is held down during a click. You'll learn to distinguish between regular and Shift-click actions using a simple VBA function, enhancing your form's functionality with minimal code changes. Travis from Concord, California (a Platinum Member) asks: How can I make my button in Microsoft Access do something different when I hold down the Shift key while clicking it? I'm trying to set up a form where a button usually performs a basic function, but I want it to have an alternate function when the Shift key is held down during the click. I want my database users to be able to trigger different actions based on whether they click the button regularly or use the Shift key. Can you show me how to set this up so that it can distinguish between a regular click and a Shift-click? I'm not really sure where to start. Is there a way to configure this directly in Access, like maybe using an event or some kind of condition that checks if the Shift key is pressed when the button is clicked? MembersIn the extended cut, I will show you how to configure button actions for different key combinations in Microsoft Access. We will learn how to handle not just shift clicks, but also control clicks, alt clicks, and combinations like control shift click, giving you versatility in user interactions.
