Hello,

I am using a label to put some static text on a form, and to my surprise I
noticed, that the "&" character is shown as "_".
Now I realize that Access uses this character internally, but I thought that
labels were different and that you could essentially write in them whatever
you like.

Is there a way to show the "&" character in a label, or is this impossible?

Thank you.

Yes, for example, to display:

Me&You

as the text in your label, enter:

Me&&You
