Apologies if this was asked before, but I get a short keyword error with searches like, "Jump to 4NT," "Slam Forcing Bids," etc. My partner opened 1♠ and I had 23 hcp with ♠KQ65 ♥AK ♦KJ83 ♣AK2. To open I knew he had to have both missing aces and two or three honors, or he had one ace and every other missing honor. He actually had ♠AJ843 ♥Q8753 ♦A ♣J3, giving us 35 hcp total. We made 6NT, but unfortunately didn't bid it. I thought we belonged in 6♠ as soon as he opened with 1♠, so I bid 4NT asking for aces. He passed! Post mortems are welcome. My best guess is that I should have gone directly to 6♠ without asking, hoping he would go to 7♠ with 16-17 hcp.
