Thank you for responding. I notice that this involves java calls - is there no native CF function that does this?

Quite frequently, the document contains "smart quotes" - curly quotes that go on each end of a string. Apparently, some PCs have issues displaying these characters, so I need to know how to convert them to straight normal quotes. I am under the impression that these are Unicode characters as opposed to ASCII characters. As such, I am unsure how to do a replace in CF - MX 6.1. I've looked in the livedocs but I don't see a function that works like chr() for Unicode. What am I missing here?
