Is there a shortcut to show/hide sheet tabs in Excel?

The reason I ask is because a user of one of my workbooks called me and said he could no longer see the sheet tabs. I simply went to Options and checked the box for "Show Sheet Tabs" but I was wondering how he hid them. I know he didn't go to the Options and un-check that box... so is there any kind of shortcut that would toggle this feature? I Googled but couldn't find anything.

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
Thank you for response. I am talking about the option to "Display sheet tabs" -- not actually hiding or unhiding sheets. This option allows you to choose whether or not sheet tabs are shown in your workbook. Wondering if there is a shortcut or other way to do this, besides going into the options menu.

Hi svendiamond,

this little code hides or unhides tabs

Code:
Sub Hide_Unhide_Tabs()
ActiveWindow.DisplayWorkbookTabs = Not ActiveWindow.DisplayWorkbookTabs
End Sub

Hope this helps

There is a keyboard method, but I'm not sure that I would call it a shortcut and certainly nothing that would have been done accidentally!
