I am trying to use the '&' symbol in a text element on a dialog. (It is to let an insurance agent choose Accidental Death and Dismemberment insurance - AD&D).

Every time I try it, with variables, in quotes, etc., it just puts an underscore in its place.

Any suggestions?

I'm afraid @CHR(38) alone won't do the trick. You'll have to use 2 successive & chars (or @CHR(38))

Like this: AD&&D

Works great! I had tried the single @chr(38), but not two together.

Thanks for the help -

Moderator disabled smilies in this post because they were conflicting with the 8) in @chr(38)
