Hi all.

I'm trying to insert into sql7 but be able to enter the chars ' ". I'm trying to do a replace but am running into problems... Can anyone see the light??

Thanks in advance

<script language=&quot;vbscript&quot;>

function clientsafeStr(inputValue)

clientsafestr=inputValue
clientsafeStr= Trim(Replace(clientsafestr,&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;,&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;))
clientsafeStr= Trim(Replace(clientsafestr,&quot;'&quot;,&quot;''&quot;))

end function

</script>
 
anyideas,

What are you trying to replace?

If you have a string with a single quote and are trying to put that into a database field then you need to replace the single quote with TWO single quotes.

x = &quot;can't&quot;
if instr(x,&quot;'&quot;) > 0 then x = replace(x,&quot;'&quot;, &quot;''&quot;)
