Subject: [LegacyUG] Problem with & Ampersand &
Greetings!
Look at the bottom of the screen where you will see a description of the contents of the short location field. You have to be in the master list/location screen, and highlight a location from the list, and then you will see a description of the short location field for that location on the task bar at the bottom of the screen.
My ampersands show up ok on the screen when I am looking at or viewing reports. It just that when you are in the actual location master list that the ampersand will show up as an underscore in the short name description contents field at the bottom of the master list screen. I hope you can all under stand what I am trying to say I am not very good with words.
Regards,
Ken
<snip> I have an ampersand in both long and short place names with no problem.
I cannot image Legacy trying to convert any characters in those fields,
since they are simply character strings.
