My grid contains a hyperlink column which has been set up with a URL format string that passes an unknown parameter value: "Page.aspx?field={0}"; and a URL field: field.

The hyperlink works fine for field values that start with a letter or number; but the link fails when the value starts with an "&". The value "" is passed instead of the field value.

Does the "&" mean something to dotNet that causes this behavior? Is there a work-around that allows the field value to pass with the "&" as the first character.

Thanks for any information -
Patty
