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.
