Multiple Files with VBA Macos Using same Shortcut Key

[BruceMutton]

I have multiple simultaneously open files that have similar VBA code, and use identical shortcut keys, Ctrl+shift+V in this case. The problem is that excel97 & excel2000 does not seem to recognise more than one shortcut key allocation, and my attempt below to get each file to stamp its own shortcut key does not solve the problem, although the .MacoOptions method appears to work in every other respect.

Any clues to a solution out there?


[code]
'This code resides in ThisWorkbook CodeModules
Private Sub Workbook_Activate()
Call MacroShortCutKeyOverRideSetup
End Sub
Private Sub MacroShortCutKeyOverRideSetup()

'Set up for activation of Outline Macro shortcut keys & UI dialog
'Hopefully ensures that other workbooks do not have control of this key, but it does not have that effect!?
MsgBox "About to set Vert Macro shorcut", vbOKOnly, Me.Name

'Vert Comb* outline
Application.MacroOptions _
Macro:="'" & Me.Name & "'!ThisWorkbook.ToggleVertOutline", _
Description:="Ctrl+shift+V " & String(1, 10) & _
"Toggles vertical outline of ActiveSheet " & String(1, 10) & _
"Will act only on THISWorkbook", _
HasShortcutKey:=True, _
ShortcutKey:="V", _
StatusBar:="Toggles vertical outline of ActiveSheet "
End Sub

Sub ToggleVertOutline()
'Toggle outline for CiRCSTRess RCDesign Workbook
'Assumes only two levels of outline, 1 and 2
'Mostly seems to work if used on VBA created outlines
'Called from User Interface Ctrl+shift+V

If LCase(Left(ActiveSheet.CodeName, ) <> "rcdesign" Then Exit Sub
With ActiveSheet
If .Rows(10).Hidden Then
.Outline.ShowLevels RowLevels:=2 'rows expanded
Else
.Outline.ShowLevels RowLevels:=1 'rows collapsed
End If
End With 'ActiveSheet
End Sub [code]

Hi Bruce, do all of your Workbooks have this code in them ??
Or just ONE.
The reason I ask is that If you just have this in one workbook the routine only fires
When that workbook is Activated.

Very prompt!
All workbooks have similar code.

The last proceedure in my example should have your own code in it, as the particular code I have posted needs a particular sheet and outline to be present
