Hello Frank and Tracy, Thanks so much for the help, I tried to macro the variable, never thought to macro the entire command.

Kent, The ON KEY LABEL stores the command. It evaluates the command at the time it is called. I believe you need to build the ON KEY LABEL command as a string, then Macro Substitute it. Cmd = "on key label " + lcHotKey + " thisform.runreport(" + transform(hotkeys.reportnum) + ")" &cmd Tracy Pearson PowerChurch Software [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/9D439350088845B0B7B6BABF6AB15DB3@LaptopW7 ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
