Have you tried accessing the properties from another place and creating the keyboard shortcut there instead? have you tried using a different key combination as your shortcut key? (I've found that that can work, though I really can't tell you why.) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandberg, Robert" <robert.sandberg@xxxxxxx> To: <vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, July 27, 2006 1:04 PM Subject: [vicsireland] problem with assigning short cut keys Hi folks! For some reason I can no longer assign a key combination to a short cut in the properties. The key combination I press appears, but on pressing OK or Apply, the entry goes back to None. Strangely, when I delete a key combination and press Apply, it remains deleted, so I'm authorised to make changes, but when trying to reenter the combination previously assigned, no joy, it remains on None.
