When I create a report in Access, we usually have our company name listed as
the header. That name is "Fanning & Associates, Inc." I can type it in, but
it isn't viewed or printed that way. It usually prints as "Fanning
Associates, Inc."

Is there a way to get that to display as I have it typed? The '&' is
important in the name.

Try typing

"Fanning && Associates, Inc."

There is method in this madness ;-)
On a form, using a single & in a label (or command button caption)
will underline the next letter, and one can then use the Alt+Letter
shorcut.

Thus "&Help" will display "Help" wih an underlined H, and you can
"click" the Help button wih the key combination Alt+H.
To actually display the &, you need to double it:

"&&Help" will display as "&Help", wih no underline.

This works the same way in reports, because the form and report
controls are the same.
