URLEncode...then what? 2

[apple17]

I have some text fields in my application that can contain apostrophes, etc. So I use URLEncode to get my data ready to store in my Access database. It goes in the database fine.

When it comes out and displays, how do I 'decode' it? There is no URLDecode in ASP apparently.

Thanks.

An example URLUnEncode function:

const Hexconvert = "0123456789ABCDEF"

function firsttwoHextoAscii(strHex)
dim dec
firsttwoHextoAscii = ""
if len(strHex)>1 then
dec = 16 * instr(1,Hexconvert,left(strHex,1),1) + _
instr(1,Hexconvert,mid(strHex,2,1),1) - 17
if dec>0 and dec<256 then
firsttwoHextoAscii = chr(dec)
end if
end if
end function

function URLunencode(strEncoded)
dim unencoded,part
if isnull(strEncoded) or strEncoded="" then
URLunencode = ""
else
unencoded = split(replace(strEncoded,"+"," "),"%")
for part = 1 to ubound(unencoded)
unencoded(part) = firsttwoHextoAscii(unencoded(part)) & _
mid(unencoded(part),3)
next
URLunencode = join(unencoded,"")
end if
end function

Argh...star for Chris for pointing me to a post that had a piece of functionality that I didn't know about...how did I never know about that GetRef function. I'd star Drexor but that post is archived and I'm not sure he is even active anymore...
