    No , it doesn't with Excel VBA - 2000, or 2002 either !

    Seems not to work the same as VB, doesn't allow you to put 'alt + key' - functionality in !

    Properties > Misc > Accellerator

    Drop your key in there.

    There's also a user setting in Win2K (not sure about XP) where the underline display can be turned on or off, but nothing the app can do about that.

    Yes, XP has the same feature in the OS to allow you to hide the accelerators until the Alt key is pressed.
    In XP youc can change it by going to Control Panel > Display > Appearance tab > Advanced button >
    Effects and check or uncheck the "Hide underline letters for keyboard navigation until I press the Alt key".
