I am having another problem in another JFrame, also to do with accelarators,
I think :-).

Here I have a menu item "Finish" on a visible menu. This item has "Alt-F"
defined as an accelerator. There is also a JButton on the form which causes
exactly the same code to be executed, but is called via a separate event
handler.

I have a QueryDataSet attached to Jdb*** controls on the frame, and the I
make a change to one of the fields. The "Finish" code saves the changes, and
puts the controls disables the controls so no more changes are possible.

Depending how I call the "Finish" code I get different behaviour:

1) If I press the JButton with the mouse, everything works as it should.

2) If I select the JMenuItem from the menu, everything works as it should.

3) If I push the accelerator key, it goes through all of the motions, calls
saveChanges() on the dataSet, disables the controls, then issues a beep from
the PC speaker. The contents of the field are restored to their original
value (despite saveChanges() being called), and _no_ Exception is thrown!!

Can anyway shed some light on this???

I am using JDK 1.2.1 (as shipped with JB3 EE), but with HotSpot.

Thanks in advance,
