Easy question - non urgent

Hi..Please help...I cannot put an ampersand into a label (for company name) on my startup form...or any form. It's driving me crazy. I've tried ansi characters too (keyboard shortcuts), and every font imaginable...copying and pasting etc. When you are typing into the label there is an ampersand there '&', but as soon as you leave the box, a mini underscore appears where the ampersand should be...I don't get it !!!! can anyone help?

An ampersand in a label is usually indicating that the following letter can be used as a shortcut.

i.e.

&Open would mean that I could click the checkbox, command button, etc by pressing "Alt + O"

I you want an actual ampersand in you label use && (two ampersands together).

Use a second ampersand e.g. Jones && Co
If you want to use an ampersand (&) in a label, you must type two ampersands. This is because Microsoft Access uses the ampersand in a label or button to define an access key.
