FieldsGridLabel works for me - unless the FieldsDisplayLabel is too
long to display in the AutoLabel (in which case the GridLabel is
used).

I have thought about the '&' problem before but I think that it is
possibly more complicated than simply ignoring in IB_Grid, since
displaylabels may be used in other circumstances. Perhaps it would be
possible to setup the DisplayLabel/GridLabel properties so that you
can input '&' characters but these will be filtered from normal
access, and we introduce a separate property that retrieves the value
unfiltered (for use in AutoLabel). Not sure if I think it is worth
it - when you could just use a normal label.
