Sub DisplayKeys()
'Enables key in ToolTips
    Dim myolapp As Outlook.Application
    Dim myinspector As Outlook.Inspector
    Set myolapp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set myinspector = myolapp.ActiveInspector

    'Test if an inspector is active
    If Not TypeName(myinspector) = "Nothing" Then
          myinspector.CommandBars.DisplayKeysInTooltips = True
    End If

End Sub
