OK, I see, it is displayed OK when dropped down, but when selected itdisplays the underscore.  If you use "&&" if fixes the oneproblem but displays "&&" in the drop down.  I think Iremember this being a bug in the report control and it was fixed, sosubmit this as a bug so the development team can fix it

What's happening to me is the ComboBox is showing "Johnson _Johnson". 

I am retrieving the string from a database field, assigning it to a string variable, then adding it to the combo using the AddItem method.  Any kind of an "&" gets converted to an underscore.  Same thing when I (for testing purposes) hard code the string variable.

I have no problem adding them.  You can hard code it and say"Johnson & Johnson" or place that string in a variable then assignit.]]> Fri, 17 Dec 2004 13:57:46 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1552&PID=4430&title=adding-items-to-combobox-with-an#4430 <![CDATA[Adding Items to ComboBox with an "&" : Couldn&#039;t find this in a search...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1552&PID=4429&title=adding-items-to-combobox-with-an#4429 Author: DDJJ

Couldn't find this in a search of the forum.

How do you add items to a CommandBar ComboBox that contain an "&" in the expression (like Johnson & Johnson)?  I've tried a few variations of the following, without success:

sListItem = Replace(sListItem, "&", "' & '")

Thanks!
