Where do you get "undesired results"? If you are displaying the name in a
label, you may want to set its 'UseMnemonic' property to 'False'.

It's an input output text field a user can modify.

Well, what exactly doesn't work?

well, now that I think about it I might be in the wrong forum because my
example is when a user clicks a link and redirects to the next webform. in
the response.redirect("default.aspx?id=" & value) where value would contain
the company with the ampersand in it. and the only thing that gets put into
the query string is everything before the ampersand.

Not the wrong forum, you did not described the problem well. Herfried (and
others) would have given you directly this answer when you had told it as
now.
