I am using Visual Basic to create a form that will display data
in a label field.  The data is unformatted text, and many times
includes the "&" character, causing the next character to be underlined.
So, instead of "A&B" displaying in the label field, I get "AB".
                                                            -
Is there a way to tell a label field to *not* draw an underline when
it sees an "&"?  My workaround up to this point is to create text
fields that cannot be tabbed to, or to simply change a single "&" to
"&&" before assigning the label.caption.  But, I'd really like to use
label fields if possible, especially since one form I've developed
already has 50+ such fields.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks
