I put the following in Module1:

Sub OffKey()
Application.OnKey "^{+}", "Placenm"
End Sub

Sub Placenm()
MsgBox ("Hello World")
End Sub

I went back to the worksheet and manually ran OffKey. I then touched
CNTRL-SHFT-+ and got the macro to fire.

Try the same on a fresh, new workbook.

Where did you put Placenm?

Thanks; however, as noted, I've tried several different key
combinations--
"%n", "^{+}", and others.
I've tried all control and alt keys in all combinations (with and without
the shift keys)
It still isn't working.
Any other suggestions?

Remember:

1. CNTRL-+ using the numeric keypad will not work
2. to get to the "normal" + key ( the one above the = sign) you must
touch
CNTRL-SHFT-=

This key combination will drive your macro!

I'm using Excel 2003 in Vista. I'm using the following code, but it

work.
Application.OnKey "^{+}", "Placenm"
I've placed it in ThisWorkBook in a WorkBook_Open routine.
I've also placed it in a subroutine that gets called periodically in
the
course of a work session.
I've also tried different key combinations. Nothing seems to work.
(The
subroutine, "Placenm" is not getting called.)
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
