SYMPTOMS
When you create access keys for table or query fields by typing an
ampersand (&) in the Caption property of table or query fields, the access
keys do not work in table or query Datasheet view. In Microsoft Access 7.0
and 97 the literal ampersand characters appears in the field names, and
the characters you intended to be underlined do not have underlines. In
version 2.0, the characters are underlined, but in all versions the ALT
plus letter key combinations do not move the focus to the intended fields.
CAUSE
Access keys are not functional in table or query Datasheet view.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
