It also happens in vfp9 sp1beta.
Am I really the first person in the world who wants to use alt+5 as hotkey?!
Anyway, I'll make a bug report for MS.

  • Open menu as a table, find the record with ALT+TAB and replace with ALT+5

  • Write a simple driver for GenMenuX that will change ALT+TAB to ALT+5
    >
  • Use a ProjectHook to do the same.

    >>Whenever I try to assign the hotkey ALT+5 to a menu option, it assigns ALT+TAB. I can change it in the MPR and then it works fine. But of course, the maintenance will pose a problem, because there's no easy way to remember this manual adjustment over time. Anyone here familiar with this quirck?
