Steve:

I did post the string in my message to you. However in the mean time we got 
it... We had to revert back to the ancient language VB and used the double 
ampersand symbol &&.

Jim,

The ampersand's ASCII decimal value is 38.  In windows resource files, I'd use 
the ampersand to indicate which letter in a label should be the hot-key.  But 
they were always within quotes, and gave me no problems.  If that doesn't put 
you on the right track, posting the line of "code" with the ampersand in it 
could help.

        Tried this in my string but it just printed it as though it were part 
of the string.

               Hi:

               ...back to the resource file again. I'm trying to print the 
ampersand symbol (&) to a screen but it's coming up weird. Does anyone know the 
Escape Sequence for this character?
