Drop down form field...ampersands not allowed?

[Geoff]

I have a drop down box on a form and one of the list entries is the name of a
company that includes an ampersand (&). Unfortunately, the ampersand does not
display on the fields when the form is protected.

Is there a work around for this?

Also, is there a way to specify the current date as the default for a text
form field.

Thanks for all your help...this is a super resource for people like me who
know just enough to ask stupid questions!

Thanks Graham...what about the other issue? You may have missed it...

You could run something like the following on entry to the field:
Sub OnEntryText1()
With ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text1")
.Result = Date
.Range.Fields(1).Select
End With
End Sub
