I enter 'M&G' into TextBox1.Text via the keyboard. I then transfer to Label1.Text by use of Label1.Text = TextBox1.Text. But when the data is displayed in label1.text the '&' is missing, all I see is 'MG'. What on earth am I doing wrong. I am very new to VB, I've been a dedicated Delphi user up til now, so be kind to me.

Regards

When you enter an & in a label or menu item, the & tells Visual Basic that the following letter should be underlined and used as the control's accelerator. (The letter that activates the control if you press Alt.) If you enter M&G, you should see MG.

To get an ampersand, type && as in M&&G.
