I have a crystal report that displays a text with an ampersand (&). I was able to store this text into an oracle database and still displays correctly in my System UI. Unfortunately, when I try to print this one out in a report, the ampersand sign is converted to sharp (#) or a space. And also, when the text is converted to a barcode, same thing happens. I was wondering why is this happening? Thanks for the usual support.

& is the crystal syntax for concatenation. you will need to put the & in double quotes to tell crystal it's not to be used as code.
