We seem to be having a problem with special characters ie. the pound sign, which, in Cold Fusion, surrounds variables and the bar, which, in SQL is a delimiter. When these are used in the text boxes, the system tries to use them as code when we try to display them, which causes errors. I know what most of these characters are, but does anyone know any more or is there a list of characters somewhere that I can get one? I need to filter these out of the text to avoid these errors. Thanks.....
