The Access Key property is one of the accessibility properties designed to
make reports accessible to the disabled community when output to HTML. This
property specifies the value for the ACCESSKEY
attribute of the
LABEL
element, which provides hot-key access to specific input
elements. It only has effect when the Label for
Field property is used. With assistive utilities, the label of a boilerplate
text object and the access key can be displayed in a popup or read by a screen
reader when the cursor passes over the cross-referenced input field in report
output.
