I'm using Excel 2003 in Vista. I'm using the following code, but it doesn't
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.
Bert.

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!

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?

Where did you put Placenm?

Placenm is in the "default" module "Module1".

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.
