I cant believe there arent any replies listed to this - its as simple as can be:
In the property sheet for the button there is aproperty called Access Key.
Enter the letter you want used with the Alt key for the button.
It will appear underlined on the screen.
Doing the same thing for menu items is different:
You insert an & prior to the letter in the label that you want to use.
Isnt that nicely inconsistent?
