I created a Windows Form with a couple of menu items. I added access keys
(e.g. &Clock) and those show up as underlined characters on the development
window but not when I run the program. Is there some setting I missed?

You are correct. That is a lousy design. If there is nothing underlined on
the screen why would the user press Alt. As I recall in VB6 this worked
correctly?

Hi, Wayne

This operating system behavior is by design. If you want the old behavior
on your machine, right click on the desktop and select properties. Select
the Appearance tab and click the Effects button. Uncheck the last checkbox
and click ok.

Please let me know if this will work for you.

HTH,

Thank you. I did not know that option existed.
