I have the same problem and I fiddled with it for some time.  I finally
settled on reading each character in the string and if it is & then I
insert another & into the string.  It stinks but that's all I could come up
with.    In the KeyPress routine say something like:
if KeyAscii = Asc(38) then
	label1.caption = label1.caption + keyAscii
endif
If you hear of a better way please let us all know.
