Excel VBA Macro Shortcut Keys

VBA Macro shortcut keys can be created when recording a Macro. It pays to make sure you use a combination NOT used by some other shortcut. Eg don't use CTRL + S.
I had a client who recorded two macros and used CTRL + S and CTRL + Z for them. I found them when I tried to save the file and undo an edit.

Fortunately you can change them.
Go to Tools | Macro | Macros and select the Macro you want to change the shortcut key for. Click Options and a Dialog Box will appear allowing you to reset (or set) a shortcut key.

Remember that this only works for the macro in the specific workbook that this Macro is recorded in.
