You're mistaken. The shortcut for the button is 'B' not 'ALT+B'.

>The following has just a combo box and a button with a shortcut key of ALT + B. If you sit on the combo box and hit just B it fires the click event of the button which I really dont think it should. If I change the combo box style to not be 2 then it works ok but all my combo boxes are built from system data when the form is built so I dont really want to change it.
