Hi,
While testing my form, the shortcut keys I design aren’t working if they match with something defined on the access standard menu. My control doesn’t work in this case, the standard menu does. I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks!

It is a general suggestion to never use the same shortcut keys as is already defined by Microsoft. This is because when you have a user who knows and uses the MS shortcut keys, they will continue to use them in your program (It's difficult to teach an old dog a new trick). You may re-define what that shortcut key does, but the user will expect something different and then totally screw things up, trust me. I dealt with this very question a couple years ago and just created diferent keys, they will learn.
