How do I sql query for records containing an ampersand in MS Access?

Question

I have a database of customer names and am looking to select only the names that contain an ampersand somewhere in them. I have concatenated the first and last name together and just need to return any records that contain an ampersand.

I've tried using contains and like %&% but neither of those is working because MS access seems to see the ampersand as a variable of some sort?

Here's the code that gives me the lsit of full name, as well as a unique identifier I can use to find the record in the original database.

SELECT [BillTo_FirstName] & " " & [BillTo_LastName] AS FullName, 
June_ampersand.MerchantReferenceNumber
FROM June_ampersand
;

MS Access为LIKE运算符使用不同的通配符-尝试使用LIKE '*&*'条件
