VFP3 had a problem with ampersands in comboboxes showing up in the display as an underline indicator rather than as an ampersand. In other words, if the value was A&A, it would be displayed in the text display as AA with an undercore under the 2nd A.

I have to do some work using 3.0b, and I can't find a workaround for this. I've checked Deja News, but while the question is asked a few times, it is never answered. On Microsoft's site, the problem is acknowledged as a bug in 2.5 and 2.6, but there is no mention of it in 3.0.

Has anybody every found a way to deal with this? Microsoft's 2.6 suggestion of typing a double ampersand into the data is unacceptable.

Suggestions?

Thanks

Alan
