I'm trying to display a text field from an SQL database in a VB label, eveything works fine apart from the fact the '&' symbol shows up as a '_'. I'm sure this is something to do with '&' being a special character in VB so how do i actually get it to display ???

Ian (New Guy!)
You need to put '&&' to show a single &.
If it is in a database field you will need to replace all &'s with &&.

Thanks Chris, i figured it would be something silly like that but could'nt seem to find the answer ...
Ian.
The other option is to turn off the UseMnemonic property (make it false). That stops VB interpreting the & as an underline. A lot easier than search adn replace
