I'm able to duplicate this on several forms -- I make a winForm. Put a
simple button on it. Add an accelerator key (ie, for a NEXT button, I enter
&Next and it displays Next with the underscore character under the "N")

But when I run the project, the button appears w/o the assigned accelerator.
It's actually there because if I press Alt-N, the button fires AND the
underscore character now appears.

Is anyone else having this issue? I've updated my video drivers (I've got a
very good graphics card), and I also, just to make sure it wasn't hardware
acceleration, I turned that all the way off and there's not change in
behavior.

This behavior started in Win2000 I believe.  I am not sure if there is
anywhere you can turn it off, but you will probably notice that as soon as
you hit the Alt Key, all of the mnemnonics show up.  This is Windows
behavior, and is not unique to VS .Net Applications.

Thanks a lot Ben and Glen. That worked. I never even knew that was there.
