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! |

| I have no problem adding them. You can hard code it and say "Johnson & Johnson" or place that string in a variable then assign 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. |

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