[AccessD] Shortcuts Again

Never mind.  I figured it out.  It wasn't Access - it was me.

You see for this app, which is distributed, I have language tables with all
the control captions and message boxes so I can do translations on the fly
and it's easy to add a new language. 

So the translation for the command button Sales orders is &Sales Orders.  It
doesn't matter what I put in the for, the caption on the button is going to
be replaced by what's in the table.  Which is...wait for it...&Sales Orders.

Of all the things I considered as to why the shortcut was reverting back to
S, I forgot about the translation.

Oh well, time to retire...

Subject: [AccessD] Shortcuts Again

Dear List:
 
I had a problem with two shortcuts on a menu having the same letter - S.
When I look at it in design view the shortcuts are different - G and O.
When I go back to form view they revert to S.
 
I tried the Save an text and Load from text trick.  Starting with a form
with & in front of the S in both command buttons, I export to text, change
the ampersands to G and O. Then Load from text.  In design view, AOK.  Form
view - they revert to S underlined. 
 
So, I'm totally stumped.  What to do?
