texte = Help!I am having problems with field values that contain the '&' character.I have a drop-down list from which a user selects a value for a field named Department1: Values for the field are: Aero & Astro Biology Chemistry etc....I post the value of Department1 to my search results page. The search results page performs a lookup from of a special table I have created matching the value of Department1 with the codes used in my database (i.e. AA, BIO, CHEM).The form and the lookup work fine, except when a user selects a value for Department1 that contain the '&' character. I do need to use the & character; my attempts to use [ConvertChars] have failed.Any suggestion?---------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Rosenbaum Pop Art L.L.C. steve@pop-art.com Web / Intranet / Print7000 SW Hampton St., Suite 124, tel: (503) 968.5957 Tigard, OR 97223-8361 fax: (503) 620.8487 Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
