Shortcut keys not working on Reports

I am using Access 2007.
On my forms and reports I use 'Caption' to specify a shortcut, e.g.,
Opt&ions. The Alt-letter combinations work on the forms, but not on the
reports. Your help is appreciated.
 
The text box and label controls on a report do not have events like On Click.
Therefore clicking on a text field or doing an Alt + the underscore letter
does nothing on a report.
 
But the buttons do work. They have events, including On Click. Additionally,
my reports have text boxes, and I set up On Click events for some of those as
well.

The only thing that does not work is the shortcut key technique
(Alt-letter). Selecting the button with a mouse click is fine. It triggers
the Click event, and my VBA code gets control.

I used Create Report from the Office Ribbon to create the report. What I
have is an Access Report object. Then, using the Design tab, I added buttons
to the Report Header. They function exactly like buttons on a Form, with the
exception that the shortcut key technique does not work. (I defined the
shortcut letter using an '&' in the caption property.)

It seems to me to be an Access problem, as opposed to something wrong that I
am doing or failing to do.
