Putting " &" in the caption format property of Option group

[Guest]

Hello:

I have not been succesful in trying to make a filter on filter on my main
and subform. I am seriously studying the sample on the Northwind sample
database's "Customer Phone List"

My question is what is the function of puttting an "&" in the caption format
property. In the button "A" for example, in caption property it says " &A",
waht is the function of &. Can anybody help me? maybe because I do not put it
in my form that caused it does not work.

Thanks in advance.

Putting an ampersand (&) next to a letter in a control's caption makes
that letter the "hot key" for that control. You'll notice that, when
the caption is displayed, the ampersand is not displayed. Instead, the
letter that followed it is underlined, to indicate that pressing Alt+the
letter (or, in some cases, just the letter itself) will activate the
control.

You can override this behavior by doubling up the ampersand -- e.g.,
"Smith && Jones" -- to indicate it should be displayed as a simple,
single ampersand, and not treated as a hot-key indicator.
