Accelerator or Access Key

[Slim Slender]

In a shared Excel application at work there is a form with a control
with a label with an accelerator, Alt+D. It works perfectly on my
machine but on someone else's machine I get the message "Office 2003
access key Alt, D,
continue typing the Office 2003 menu key sequence, or press Escape to
cancel." Why the difference? How can I make the accelerator work the
same way on all machines.?

If I remember correctly, alt+d is assigned to the 'data' menu item in
<=xl2003.

Apparently >=xl2007 is going to xl's default hotkey on the other
person's machine.

Just change the accelerator in the ActiveX control to something that
ms doesn't already have assigned.

Thanks!
