My add-in puts a custom menu on the worksheet menu bar.

Works fine via the mouse.

Works fine when tapping ALT and then navigating with the arrow-keys.

It's called "Review" and the R shows the underline b/c I populated th
caption as "&Review".

Tapping ALT and then "R" does highlight/select the top of the men
correctly.

But it doesn't expand it, ie. it doesn't drop it down and reveal it
contents.

For all the built-in menus ALT plus the underlined letter does revea
the menu.

Is there something I need to be setting??

It is working for me with this test example

Sub MenuBar_Item()
On Error Resume Next
Application.CommandBars(1).Controls("Review").Dele te
On Error GoTo 0
With Application.CommandBars(1)
With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton, befo=1)
.Style = msoButtonCaption
.Caption = "&Review"
.OnAction = ThisWorkbook.Name & "!TestMacro"
End With
End With
End Sub

Sub MenuBar_Item_Delete()
On Error Resume Next
Application.CommandBars(1).Controls("Review").Dele te
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

Sub TestMacro()
MsgBox "Hi"
End Sub
