ESCAPE CHARACTER
I'm having a problem finding/using an escape character with this ASP/JScript application I'm creating. Basically I have text sometimes that has apostrophes or double quotations in them, but they won't be INSERTED unless I manually take them out.
Ex: INSERT INTO tbl1 (vendor,reason) VALUES (81,"This is only a test, but there is an apostrophe and it's only going to make things worse.")
That apostrophe in "it's" is kiling everything. I've used the replace method to change it to " ' ", but that STILL doesn't work. I can't find MS SQL's ESCAPE CHARACTER. I've tried several directions of the backslash, but no luck.

I am trying to only have a link show if there is a certin value in the DB. This is what I am trying:
<% if (rsWelcome.Fields.Item("access_level").Value) = "admin" then
response.Write("| - <a href="sps_main.asp">Sales Training Support </a>-")
end if %>
BUT... this is the error I get:
Expected ')'
/sta/topnav_test.asp, line 9 response.Write("| - <a href="sps_main.asp">Sales Training Support </a>-") How do I use quotes in a "response" and have the app server ignore them??

Info
DB: Oracle(9i), where I generate query strings programatically and send them to the DB server.
I have rtfm'd and googled this extensively, but I have not found how to properly esacape the ampersand character in an oracle query (I'm NOT using the SQL+ command line interface).
Oracle uses the & character to denote a variable substitution, and unfortunately one of the fields I must query has data that contains the & character. I need to know how to escape the & character in my query strings so that Oracle will treat it as a string literal. Code:

I am inserting records into an Access table using the OleDbCommand class. The insert values come from a basic web form with text boxes. If the values contain ' or " it creates a problem. What is the proper way to escape these characters? Surely there's a built-in function for it somewhere.

I working on a ASP project (usually I'm a PHP guy) and I wanted to encode a string to make it safe for a SQL insert. Is there a function built into ASP for that or do I just need to replace single quotes?

I've a problem reading querystring parameters that are 'uri encoded'. Anyone
has a solution for this?
To reproduce the problem, create a classic ASP containing the following code:
-----------------------
<p>Value sent via querystring: <%=
Server.HTMLEncode(Request.QueryString("value")) %></p>
<input id="input" />
<button id="submit" onclick="window.location.assign('Test.asp?value=' +
encodeURIComponent(input.value));">submit</button>
-----------------------
Now, enter the value "Dré" and submit. The page will show the value "Dré",
but I except Request.QueryString("value") to return the original value, i.e.
"Dré".

I'm still having trouble getting some of my data being returned properly when people use quotes. (ex ProjectName contents being - the "primary" project - The double quotes are the main issue. I am using a function for the single quote and it seems to have resolved the issue.
Code:
Term = trim (Term)
if Term <> "" then
Term = Replace (Term, chr (39), chr (39) & chr (39))
end if
If Term <> "" then
I use this just when passing strings from a form. I tried altering it and using chr (34) for a double quote but it didn't work.

When chucking data in cookie you cannot use certain characters in this example ‘ : ‘ . To get around this you use escape and unescape. Trying to use the escape as such:
Response.Cookies("Lines")("URL4") = escape("http://www.ASP101.com")
Gives the following result:
URL4=http%3A//www.ASP101.com
Which I don't think does anything to help. So using it like this:
Response.Cookies("Lines")("URL4") = "escape(http://www.ASP101.com)"
Gives the following result:
URL4=escape(http://www.ASP101.com)
Which is the correct result apart from the ‘escape' actually appearing.

I've been looking for it for a while. I found it a week back by accident, but didn't need to use it then. It's a function that escapes SQL strings so that if there is a ' in the string it will escape it for you. I can remeber the name of it.

I have a 'memo' form field being entered into an access database.If people put in characters other then text (Quotes, operators, etc) then I get an insert error:
----
User Input: oh let's see - a va
Error:
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression ''oh let's see - a va', 'No additional comments submitted')'.
----
Is there a way to get this into the database? In php, I would simply use the function 'addslashes()' (escaping the string) - is there a similar function in ASP or am I doing something else wrong?

I'm trying to set a session variable where two variables are seperated by a backslash:
Dim a
Dim b
a = Request.QueryString("Class")
b = Request.QueryString("Group")
Session("FTEClassGroup" & y) = a + "/" + b
I can't get this to work? I'm not sure, but is the backslash being seen as a string instead of the actual backslash character?

How can tell my asp page to translate the encoded text to normal text?

The application should have a way of alerting the user if it does not recognize a character used by the website and give the user the ability to make adjustments to the unrecognized characters. The system should then remember the characters that have been adjusted by the user.
