Thanks Pete

The article refers to:

Symptoms
Using an ActiveX control (or UserControl) that is created with Visual 
Basic 5.0 in an MFC container application, the accelerator keys (or access 
keys) defined for the child windows in the ActiveX control do not work as 
expected. 

Cause
Because both Visual Basic and MFC provide different mnemonic handling 
implementations, Visual Basic needs to change the UserControl's 
accelerator tables in order for the accelerator keys to work properly in 
an MFC container. For more information, see the REFERENCES section of this 
article

My application is written entirely in VB6 SP5, does anyone know if the 
above still applies, the article was dated 1998.
