SYMPTOMS
========
 
When you use the ampersand symbol (&) in the name of a custom form, the
ampersand is displayed as part of the title bar of the form.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
In Microsoft Project, to place an item on a menu selection that can be
accessed by using the keyboard, the & (ampersand) is placed in front of the
character in the name that will designate the desired selection. The
character following the ampersand is underlined on a menu selection.
 
However, if you use the ampersand symbol in a custom form name, the
ampersand will be hidden until the form is applied. Once form is applied,
the ampersand symbol will appear as a character in the title bar of the
custom form.
 
STATUS
======
 
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the products listed
at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and
will post more information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it
becomes available.
