Using "&" in a report header

This is probably the dumbest request I have made but I am
trying to use the & Symbol in the report header part of
my report but when i preview the report it keeps removing
it. It doesn't seem to matter what font style or size I
use.
I am losing it or what is going on.
Thanks

the "&" character is used to indicate which leter is underlined and used as
a quick key.

If you have &Title ofr example, the T would be underlined.

The & symbol has a special meaning in Access.
It is for a "Hot Key."
For example, a command button with a caption of &Nicol in Design View will show in form view as
Nicol with the letter "N" underlined. Pressing the ATL button and then "N" will launch the procedure
attached to that command button. Look for "Hot Keys" in Access Help if you would like more
information.

So to work around this feature and actually show the ampersand character, we have to double them up.
