Any ampersand (&) appearing in the text of the Caption property causes the character following the ampersand to become an access key. The ampersand itself isn't displayed in the interface of the ALabel control. The Alt + key is used to set the focus to the control that can accept keyboard following the label in the tab order. To include an ampersand in a caption without creating an access key, include two ampersands (&&).

False

Any ampersand appearing in the text of the Caption property is displayed as an ampersand in the interface of the ALabel control.
