Inserting HTML Characters
I'm trying to insert either a & character or & into my Access table
However, when I do so the character disappears (looks like a space).
If I manually enter a & character into Access it works fine.
I'm guessing there's some way to force these types of characters into
Access.
Html Special Characters
I am having problems with special characters with database calls (if I'm
referring to this in the right way). the problem is with apostrophes of all
things. If an end user puts an apostrophe in something ASP will interprete
it as a delimiter. This is aggravating because I'm trying to make this as
simple for the end user as possible and if they can't place something in a
simple text field like "Joe's Bar" (which comes out as "Joe") then I have a
problem because I don't have a solution for this. It appears that this "
´ " is not quite the same as " ' " and I don't see a special
character for apostrophes either.

I thought it would be easy but I have spent (wasted) lots of hours on it
I have this SQL statement that returns customer names. Customer names can be as simple as John Doe or a bit more complicated such as
Sean "Big Al" Apple
Using ADO object, it gets stored into a variable in VBscript on server side, so the line of code will be like Code:
msCustomerName = rsCustomer("customer_name")
At this point, I have no idea, of course, what letters the variable may contain.

Displaying The HTML Code In HTML
I'm doing a content management system, whereby the user can enter the HTML code for a currency symbol, eg £ for £.y . when I bring this data backup, say they want to edit the settings, then my ASP/HTML page is rendering the HTML code, eg £, rather than showing the original value, eg £.
If for example I put a space between the '&' and the 'pound;', eg & pound; then this will cause me problems because the user will think that they have to a put a space in or they file it with the space, which means the HTML code won't work any more. Is there a way round this?

Returning Only 255 Characters
I have a MS SQL 7.0 table with a large field (> 500 characters). My select statement embedded in my ASP file in an intranet web interface only returns 255 characters. If I run the select statement in Query Analyzer, I can easily change the "Maximum Characters per Column" setting to return the entire field, but that doesn't help me in my ASP web interface. How do I return the entire field through ASP?

I have a wee lil problem when I am inserting data into my db from my asp page.
The problem is that it is inserting unwanted characters with the values.
I have used the following to try and remove the unwanted characters but to no avail:
Code:
varRootCause = CStr(Replace(Request.form("txtRootCause"), "'", ""))
rsUsers.Fields("RootCause") = trim(varRootCause)
The above gives me this: Quality of service,
The comma at the end should not be there.
