I am sorry if this is a duplicate message. I just posted a message but somehow don't see it. So I am repeating it.

I have been hitting a problem where a VFP stored procedure called via Ole DB does not recognize ampersand sign (&).

I have seen two cases:
1. AT() does not find a string
"&"
in a string where I verified that the string does have it.

2. STRTRAN() does not replace
"&"
in a string where it is present.

Is this somewhere documented or I am missing something?

Thank you.
