SYMPTOMS
When a menu is created with the menu editor with an ampersand character (&) to indicate a shortcut key for the menu, the menu shortcut key does not work in the emulator. Additionally, the menu shortcut keys will not work on the remote device unless the form contains a control that can receive focus (such as a CommandButton).
An example of a shortcut key would be "ALT-F" to access a menu with the
caption of "&File."
NOTE: This problem only exists in the emulation environment.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
