What does !escape do in the following line of VBA code? There isn’t a escape() anywhere and I searched on google for a in build escape function but seem that doesn’t exist.

  Application.OnKey "%{F11}", "1006.xls!escape"

    What this code does is call the macro “escape” in workbook 1006.xls

    When you Press Alt F11, the code will run the macro “Escape”. This method is usually used when you want to call a macro from another workbook.
