Do tooltip captions have reserved charcters?


When I try to create a tooltip caption "Red & Green" I have a problem it displays as "Red Green".

Why does it ignore the &? Are there other characters that are ignored too? Can I get a list from somewhere?
Thanks,

Steve

thanks. that works but it is pretty awful coding on MSs part. It means I have to scan through all tooltips before I can
display them.
