Very simple question about "&" 2

[marijonas]

Hi, maybe I sound stupid but I can't use symbol "&" in headings for forms. It gets automaticly translated into "_".
Anybody knows a solution to it?

Hi, if I remember correctly you need a double &

e.g. Q && A



There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.

Use 2 of them in a row, this seems to do the trick

eg.. &&

you don't seem to get the _ anywhere either

Don't you just hate it when that happens...

The answers above all correct but the reason behind that may not be clear. The "&' symbol is used to define a hot key, causing the next letter to be underlined like Exit. That's why you need a double && for an &.

Good Luck

Thanks for help. I actualy noticed that with hot key.. just didn't try to put &&.
Thanks again!
