i am trying to put a label on a report that contains the & character, but it just won't display it. Anyone got any suggestions?

Cheers, Craig

The & is reserved for hotkeys: If you use &this as caption for a command button, the & will be invisible, the t will be underlined and you can activate the button with ALT+t.

In order to display an ampersand, you must double it:
Pack && Go will then display as Pack & Go...

Cheers,
