Try typing 2 of them && a single ampersand is the underline character for a
hotkey.
 
Yes, you can ...

The only special case is in Label Control where the ampersand signifies the
next character will be a shortcut key (which will be underlined in Form
View).

To display the ampersand explicitly in a Label Control, you need tu use 2
ampersands (&&) to get a single ampersand displayed.
 
Awesome, thanx.
