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.
Im doing a update page and noticed this error, whenever you want to write for example "can't, i've" it errors on submit, but characters like "." are okay. Why doesn't it like these characters and how can i make it like them? I need some extra code?
View Replies View RelatedI'm using ASP, VBScript and SQL Server.
I'm also using UTF-8 character set and so my codepage is 65001 and SQL
Server datatype nvarchar.
I can insert unicode characters correctly into the database table using
INSERT.... (field1) ...VALUES ......... (N'Characters').
How do I do this using Rs.Update viz-a-viz:
Rs.Open .......
Rs.New
Rs("Field1") = "Characters"
Rs.Update
Where would i put this code:
replace(fieldToInsert, "'", "''")
to solve the problem of inserting these types of illegal characters into the database.
Heres the code which i need it to be in:

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.

inserting dynamic page code in .html page? i.e. i would like to insert a code which will display links. where my homepage link extension is .html. if it is .asp it would have been very easy. and also i would have worked fine. but now the problem is the homepage index file extension is .html.
so if i insert the code it is not displaying the links. i tried inserting the code in a separate file and saved as file.inc and gave the link from home page <!--#include file="file.inc"--> but still the link is not showing and not working.

I have a table having 3 columns. There is a checkbox for each line. I

name tag. Any idea?
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?

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?

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:

I have a database with names, lastnames which has special characters to be seen (10-15 of them), for example: "{" has to be "š". I emphasize - those characters are not to be replaced in the database, but just to be replaced when go to the screen.Is the only way to do that function replace in the user function that has to be made?
I have to say that I have to make the similar function for data entry - input also, which has to replace those characters before - for example search.
