How do I use the & character in an Access Report Header?
I am trying to create a report that uses the & character in the report
header, i.e., Salt & Pepper. When I enter that in the design phase, Access 2003 allows that, but when I execute the report, it substitutes an underscore (_) for the & (ampersand). It is probably because the & is used as the concatenation operator, but I haven't been able to find any way around this yet. Do I use some kind of function or expression in the report header? |

If you want the ampersand to appear then use TWO of them
