Getting Around Quote Marks And Apostrophies
I am working on building an asp forum, (I have posted a few times with questions ) and it works for the most part now, but I am trying to fix some things.
I am storing posts in a memo field. Originally it was text fields, but 255 characters is just not good enough.
Now, posts are saved fine except for 2 things:
1/ " and ' cause errors. These are causing conflicts with my INSERT SQL statement that is made. How would you get around this problem, I wonder?
2/ New lines etc are not being put into the memi field. I can live without this for the time being, but at some point I will want to implement posts being outputted in the same format they were inputted. Any advice on how to deal with this issue?

When do you use quotation marks around values in an SQL Statement, and when do you ignore the quotation marks completely?

I am trying to copy an uploaded document from one directory to another. The uploaded file (attach1) will be dynamically named. The resulting file (LName) name is based on a last name field. I have the following code but I cannot figure out how to deal with the issue of quotation amrks. Should I escape them or do I use another method?
dim fs
set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
fs.MoveFile "E:Inetpubwwwrootuploads<%=(frmSend.Fields.Item("attach1").Value)%>.doc","E:Inetpubwwwrootuploads
amed<%=(frmSend.Fields.Item("LName").Value)%>.doc"
set fs=nothing

Just like my other post about quotation marks not appearing,I am having trouble with foot marks (').
They are going in as ' but are appearing on the user's end of the database as ` Minor.

I am working on a date function, which takes a YYYY-MM-DD input and splits it into dd,mm,yyyy format. e.g:
string1 = "2006-10-20"
Function stripDate(str)
str_len = len(str)
if str_len = 10 then
str = replace(str, "-","")
str_yr = left(str,4)
str2 = right(str,4)
str_mo = left(str2,2)
str_dy = right(str2,2)
stripDate = str_dy & "," & str_mo & "," & str_yr
else
Exit Function
end if
End Function
test = stripDate(string1)
sample output: 20,10,2006
I then want to pass the sample output into another function, but in order to do that, the date variables must be split with speech marks as follows:
"20","10","2006"
but I can't work out how to include that in the stripDate function so that it wraps the variables in speech marks. Whenever I try to include the speech marks the code returns the usual error about unterminated string constants e.g. if I replace the final line of the above function with this:

I originally believe this was a database issue untill I tried to run this using just pure forms.
Issue. I have a form (basic form) and at one of the steps.. the user inputs an article name (and in this case.. there is a set of doublequotes used in this name).
I used the name ( In "Search" of the three Ethical Reviews )
<input type="text" name="Article">
Now I filled in the rest of the data Including a large section with just paragraphs of text that includes quotations marks, slashes, etc etc.
I click the submit button which Transfers all this information into a review page. The review page is another asp page that merely drags all the info from the last page and displays it on the screen for re-editing. Example Code:

I have a simple form submission but the problem is my SQL insert (or update) is failing if in the text field there is any single quotes (')
I tried running the like replace(textfield,"'","") to just remove them but it will still error out on me.
is there any other way to format the variable, do I need to use an escape character?

I'm trying to make a dynamic table where on the left side items are placed and on the right side the item clicked is shown. For an example look at www.uitdagen.nl uitgaan->cafes
This all works fine except when I use a ' or a newline a error is generated because in dhtml a ' is used to open and close a string. When i use a ' in the string it goes wrong because i already close the string in the string.
If already tried to use chr(39) etc. But this won't work because this still will generate a ' for the dhtml.

Running into a what I thought should be a small problem but it's going on an hour and I still can't figure it out
Reading an excel file and running queries on Sheet names. The problem is when there is a single quote in the sheet name.
selectQuery = "SELECT * FROM Dave's Sheet"
I tried to use
selectQuery = "SELECT * FROM Dave's Sheet"
But that doesn't work either.
It keeps bombing the query. Not matter what I try I can't get this to work. I can't replace the single quotes because then it can't find the tab name. Any ideas?

how i could insert data into my DB that contained apostrophes. for example, I wanted to insert Bailey's well, my SQL statement was being cut off when it hit the ' and i was getting all sorts of errors. i was writting some complex stuff to take out the ' then re-insert it when being displayed.lots of work then i thought, what if i replace my ' with " in my insert statement.
like i said, some of you may know this, but i thought id share my experience with you just in case someone runs across the same problem.

I am writing an asp app for generating quotes. What I would like to do is allow the user to edit the quote lines without having to open a new page each line.
On the quote I have created a loop which goes through the recordset and populates a sort of data grid. Can you use javascript or something so the user can click an edit icon on the appropriate line item in the grid and edit the line details there instead of having to open another page to edit the line item.

I have this simple Select:
Select * from MATABLE WHERE title = '"&myvariable&"' ORDER BY title
so some of my title have single quote/apostrophe in them, ex: Don't know me . so when I tried to access those article with that kind of title I get the error message Missing operator. So is there a way to have my title be all right? a function maybe?

I am having trouble getting the 's and +s on this statement correct. The first select line works as it is supposed to but the 2nd one does not. Can anyone correct this and perhaps tell me/point me in the direction of the rule of thumb for stuff like this?
Code:
<SELECT size="1" name="waste" onChange="window.location='drumsnew.asp?waste='+this.value+' &c_type=<%=Selected_Container_Type%>'+'&c_size=<%=Selected_Container_Size%>';">
<SELECT size="1" name="ctype" onChange="window.location='drumsnew.asp?waste='<%Selected_Waste_Type%>'+'&c_type='+this.value+'&c_size=<%

I'm trying to produce an image with a javascript link. The problem seems to
be with the single quote. Here is the code that I wrote:
response.Write("<a href='javascript:PopUp('http://www.yahoo.com')'><img src='image1.jpg' width='50' height='67'></a>")
When I preview the page and roll over the image, the link is truncated to just javascript:PopUp( .
I've tried creating the link with a string like below.
strLink = "javascript:PopUp(" & " ' " & "http://www.yahoo.com" & " ' " & ")"
The string displayed properly when printed on screen, but when I tried to use it as the link it truncated again. I'm not real sure what to try next.

I seem to end up with too many double quotes when using this clean up function.. either that or I am missing a display function when I display the details from the dB.
My function
Code:
Function CleanFormFields(FieldString)
FieldString = Replace(FieldString, "�", "'")
FieldString = Replace(FieldString, "�", """""")
FieldString = Replace(FieldString, "�", """""")
FieldString = Replace(FieldString,"""","""""")
FieldString = Replace(FieldString, "'", "''")
FieldString = Trim(FieldString)
CleanFormFields = FieldString

I only really wanted the microsoft ouble quote to become one set of double quote instead of double as I have here but I can't get away with anything less.
essentially when I input a � I get a "" when I only want ".

I have a rather basic question. I have a simple username and password front end that queries a SQL database, I run into problems when one of the user names has a single quote in it (IE: O'brian).
I get the "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e14' Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'brian'." error message, any clues on how to display those particular cases? is there anything in particular that should be done to my SQL statement?

I've got a form which lets users input HTML code into a database (the user enters their code into a form field, then submits, and the HTML is written to a db). This code is then pulled out of the database onto a web page. It must validate - so needs to have all characters intact.
How do I perform an update statement which lets me insert double quotes into the database? I know it's possible to achieve a similar thing by replacing the double quotes with some other characters on insert, then replacing these other characters with double quotes when the data is pulled out of the db, but this seems a bit messy.

I have a asp page where part of the code is as follows. This builds up the sql statement partially.
sql01 = "UPDATE EquipmentTbl SET "
sql01 = sql01 & "SerialNumber = '" & request.form(strSerialNum) & "', "
sql01 = sql01 & "Description = '" & request.form(strDesc) & "', "
sql01 = sql01 & "Location = '" & request.form(strLoc) & "', "
RESULT OF PARTIAL UPDATE STATEMENT USING RESPONSE.WRITE IS:
UPDATE EquipmentTbl SET SerialNumber = 'A83737', Description = 'Video
Conferencing Equipment', Location = 'Conference Rooms cabinet',
Now, in the above, I would like to be able to put the location field as 'Don's room'. In other words, I would like to handle the aprostrophe after Don. With this in mind I am changing the code as following: Code:
