I was in SUB and hit the "acknowlege" button for a trip assignment. I IMMEDIATELY called Crew Scheduling and spoke to both the crew scheduler and the supervisor. I WAS TOLD that by hitting the "acknowledge" button I had ACCEPTED the trip. It took the Duty Officer and ALPA Contract Enforcement to get me off the trip.
