We all know this already Donovan. The issue is to be able to use convertchars for displaying ALL text on the page, whether from db or from formvariables. Isn't it better to have ONE STANDARD FOR ALL SITUATIONS rather than to have to use a different technique for every specific situation? >I would do some tests to make sure its not going to mess with things. Others have said they have been doing what I suggested for years without any problems. I believe them. When you think about it, it is clear that it's not going to mess up anything anyways ... so why not "just do it"? -- Sincerely, Kenneth Grome www.kengrome.com ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
