Well, I got it only partially right. You wanted the buttons to work with ctrl, not alt ... and I forgot about the underline not showing up until you hit the alt key with XP and 2000.

Don't you just love how they say "it's a new feature"? I think someone introduced a bug and they didn't want to admit it. <g> Why the heck should you *have* to press alt first in order for the underline to show? Oh well ...

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.

>>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.
