In my Excel workbook, I am trying to create a keyboard shortcut. I have chosen to use Ctrl-Alt-G, because it appears Excel is not already using it.

In the Workbook_Activate sub, I am calling a sub called AssignShortcuts. Here it is.

VBA Code:
Sub AssignShortcuts()

'This is supposed to set Ctrl-Alt-G to open a UserForm.
Application.OnKey "^%G", "LoadGroupsUF"

MsgBox "AssignShortcuts has run!"

End Sub

This sub is in a standard module, and LoadGroupsUF is in a standard module.

I put in the MsgBox line to confirm the code is running when the workbook is opened. It is.

I put a breakpoint on the first line of LoadGroupsUF. That way, if it is every called, the code should stop. I then tried pressing Ctrl-Alt-G. Nothing. I tried multiple times. Nada. I saved & closed the file, reopened it, and tried again. Still nothing. Obviously I'm doing something wrong, but I'm not sure what.

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
