Displaying memo field containing VBscript tags

[RobJDB]

I have a memo field in my Access db, and it contains the <% ... %> tags within a load of other text. If I display the field within a text box, the tags show just like they should, but if I display it straight on a page, the <% ... %> bits are ignored (or processed?). Does anyone know how to get around this? Forums like this obviously contain loads of memo fields packed with such tags, so it must be possible.

Thanks,

Rob

Use Server.HtmlEncode(myString)

Dim str
str = &quot;<b>this is bold text</b>&quot;
Response.Write str

str = Server.HtmlEncode(str)
Response.Write str

My guess would be thsat the browser is seeing everything between the

<%...%>

as a tag, not recognizing it, and simply not displaying it, similar to the way older browser ignore unknown attributes. Try doing replaces with lt and gt escapes
