I just tried this for a form with several parameters and, although they showed up at design time, they were nonexistent at run time. My assumption is that they get overridden if you have a menu item with the same hot key, but I noted that doesn’t happen with command buttons on the form.

OK, I guess my problem lies elsewhere - thanks for checking that for me.

By the way, that was a wonderful session you did and I hope to implement a lot of the ideas you presented to us.
