"&" shows as "_" in labelfield 2

[flaviooooo]

Hi,

this is a very strange thing, and hard to search for in the forums

When I create a label that contains an ampersand (&) in it, it shows it as an underscore (_)

I now have a title that shoudl say "Users & Roles", but it says "Users _Roles"

Any idea on what could be the cause of this?
I'm using Access 2002

Thanks in advance!

Yes, it becomes a shortcut (Alt + <underlined letter> will fire the on click event of the control, or give the control a label is attached to, focus)

Double up the ampersands to display one "Users && Roles" ;-)

Have you tried this ?
"Users && Roles"

Hope This Helps, PH.

An easy way also, is to change to a different font.
