I have found the cause of this behavior, it is descriped on the following website : http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;843329

Cause:

This property has been changed in Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Windows XP, and Microsoft Windows 2000. This is a new feature. These operating systems disable the underline format for the letter key in a keyboard shortcut until you press ALT. When you press ALT, you will notice that the letter key appears correctly.


With Alt + ShortcutKey the button's method gets executed.

Thanks Bonnie.

>I preceded the S and V character with "&" the buttons in the button's text property, in the form designer the first character gets underlined. Strange thing is when I run the form the underline doesn't show anymore, moreover "ctrl+V" ,"ctrl+ S" don't fire anything.
