RE: Crazy Dynamic Update/FORM Structure question
You can use this code to examine your form field string. Change "myString" to your variable. IndexCharacterASCII #iChar##Mid(myString,iChar,1)##Asc( Mid(myString,iChar,1))# And here's an ASCII chart: http://www.jimprice.com/jim-asc.htm -David On Friday, June 01, 2001 8:12 AM, Willy Ray [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] wrote: > Good questions.

RE: Crazy Dynamic Update/FORM Structure question
Wait, I think I got it. There's a apostrophe (A.K.A. single quote) in my text string. That would do it, eh? What's the function I use to fix that? PreserveSingleQuote?

RE: Crazy Dynamic Update/FORM Structure question
Good questions. The data type of the field is (MS Access) Memo. The string is about 1400 characters. But I've been doodling around this morning with it, and I've gotten it to take strings up to 2500 characters. The problem seems to be that I'm passing some sort of carriage return that's mucking up my statement. If I could just find and replace it, but I can't even figure out what the character is... >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 6/1/01 8:51:54 AM >>> what's the data type of the field objectcontent and exactly how long is your string? -Original Message- From: Willy Ray [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 01 June 2001 15:40 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Crazy Dynamic Update/FORM Structure question Ok, I tried plugging the content into a test update statement that I knew was working.
