>>We use command buttons on all our forms. The keypreview is turned on in the forms and there is a case statement in the form keypress that looks for any hot keys used in the command buttons and if one is hit then a procedure or whatever is run from the case statement.

The case statement simply does thisform.cntmenu.cmdWhaterver.Click() (The cmdButton with the hot key gets fired.)
However, the text is gone before the .cmdWhaterver.Click() even happens. (I put a wait window just before it to check it.)
