"&" displays as "_" at form view In access
I type "Invoices & Orders" in a label on a Swithcboard in design view. When
I go to Form view or even give focus to anything else besides the label, the ampresand turns to an underline "_". How do I prevent this so the "&" displays in Form vire? |

How do I prevent this so the "&" displays in Form vire? Use &&. The ampersand character in a Label or Caption indicates that the subsequent character is a "hotkey" - e.g. a Command Buttion caption containing E&xit displays with the x underlined, and pressing Alt-X fires the "click" event of the button. What's happening is that "& " is giving you an underlined blank. To get a single ampersand, just double the ampersand. -- John W. Vinson [MVP] |

John,
Thanks so much. it works great and is so simple. It feels really humbeling to be able to do some of the deep coding I do then get hung up on something as simple as this. I guess we all are not as infallabl as we would like to think. RoyS1031 "John W.
