Guys I have a report and it needs the & symbol

S & A
when ever I dop it I get S A or something but I need
S & A

where have I cocked up ?

Use two &&

Oh, and the reason is the first one creates a HOT KEY. So, like a caption on a button can have E&xit and then the X will be underlined so you can use ALT + X as a keyboard alternate to pressing the button.

It is unwise to use an ampersand and this is a eserved html character and whilst this is Access is a database any future direction towards the web may cause problems. I changed all my ampersand to SandA. On the web links I always use &.
