Using an ampersand in a report label control
In an Access 2002 report, I need to be able to have an ampersand (&) as part
of the text in a couple of label controls. When I place the text into the control for later display however, the ampersand disappears (being replaced by a tiny underline character), and does not show on the report. I need to be able to have something like: "Alpha & Beta & Gamma" for example. How do I get the ampersand character to display in the label control? thanks in advance! |

Using an ampersand in a report label control
Simple one (if you know the secret)
Type TWO ampersands in a row and the caption will display One ampersand. -- John Spencer Access MVP 2002-2005, 2007 Center for Health Program Development and Management University of Maryland Baltimore County ..

THANK YOU!!! (I never thought that the old coding trick was also necessary in
a literal text field. *sigh*) "John Spencer" wrote: Simple one (if you know the secret) Type TWO ampersands in a row and the caption will display One ampersand. -- John Spencer Access MVP 2002-2005, 2007 Center for Health Program Development and Management University of Maryland Baltimore County ..
