I have a Client Table where many of the companies have names containing an
ampersand e.g.'A & B Company'. When I read the names into a Text or
TextLabel to display on a Form, they are appearing as 'A _ B Company' (with
an underscore) Is this the macro substitution kicking in and, if so, how do
I cure it?

Set the property 'prefixEnable' of the Text or the TextLabel to false.
