Display an ampersand '&' as normal text in a label

M

Mike DFR

In Access an Ampersand is displayed as a line, I need to display the symbol
'&' in text boxes.
For example "Total number of North & South Sales."

Thank you

Just double it:

Total Number of North && South Sales


Otherwise the & is an "escape" character which makes the NEXT character into a
hotkey, underlining it in the display. This lets you (say) set the caption of
a command button to E&XIT. The X will be underlined and typing Alt-X will
"push" the button.
