Access Keys on Forms

Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Feature Pack, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012

Access keys enable a user to open a menu item by pressing the ALT key plus a letter as a shortcut. For example, ALT+F opens the File menu.

Microsoft Dynamics AX automatically generates access keys by using the label assigned to the control. Access keys are rarely the same in two different languages.

Example

Form controls are shown in the following table.

Control

Label

Access key

A

AB

A

B

AB

B

C

Control C is not assigned an access key because both A and B have been used.

D

BC
