>>Hello,
>>I seem to remember someone talking about this, but don't know if there is a solution, or what it is. Anyway, data is something with an ampersand (&) in it, i.e. Johnson & Johnson. Appears in the combobox as Johnson && Johnson. The Ampersand doubles up. Only happens in the combobox, it doesn't affect the data. Anyone know how I can fix my display? VFP8 SP1. Thanks.
