Bernie,

It works for me - Win XP and XL 2003. When I hold down the shift and then
press the =/+ key, it runs my macro. I'm trying to think if there is some
Excel setting that would produce the behavior you describe, but I can't
think of anything.

I have this working now, but alas, not the way I expected.

When I use <Shift+ as my key, I also have to use the <enter key.
What I was envisioning, was to just enter <Shift+ (or better yet, the +
on the keypad).
So, this is not possible?

Thanks again,
Bernie

Hi bw -

"To assign a procedure to one of the special characters (+, ^, %, and so
on), enclose the character in braces." - excerpt from the builtin Visual
Basic Help system.

Using the "+" key to call a procedure is gutsy because it's such a
popular
key in and of itself... However, the following code will assign your
procedure to the "+" key in the alphanumeric section of your keyboard;
the
"+" key in the numberpad section will function as normal.
-------------------------------------------------------
To have the "+" key fire your procedure in all worksheets, copy the
following code to the ThisWorkbook module. Turning off the assignment
in
the Deactivate event will ensure that the "+" key is reset to its normal
function in other workbooks.

"To assign a procedure to one of the special characters (+, ^, %, and so
on), enclose the character in braces." - from the builtin Visual Basic
Help
system

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.OnKey "{+}", "yourProcedureHere"
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_Deactivate()
Application.OnKey "{+}"
End Sub
-------------------------------------------------------

To have the "+" key fire your procedure in one worksheet, copy the
following
code to the worksheet's module:

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Application.OnKey "{+}", "yourProcedureHere"
End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_Deactivate()
Application.OnKey "{+}"
End Sub

I've looked at the OnKey Method, but it doesn't seem to handle my
situation.
How is this done?
