Do you really have to have your double quotes in the input field escaped as ""? The example you provided had no strings with quotes in them, so what about just using the standard escape character (backslash)? Of course if you have fields with " represented as "", you can forget about what I said, make sure all your fields are in enclosed in " to resolve ambiguities, and if it doesn't work report it as a bug. Or something like that. //C - feels horribly confused today. -- Carl Troein - Círdan / Istari-PixelMagic - UIN 16353280 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://pixelmagic.dyndns.org/~cirdan/ Amiga user since '89, and damned proud of it too. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
