Aaron & Jason, thanks for the input.

Aaron, in regards to using the REPLACE() function - I didn't use it in this case, because the field being manipulated is a text, data type field. The REPLACE() function doesn't work on text fields. I generally store most web content in text fields because there is no size limitation.

Jason, I actually like to keep front and Ntier, application coding very generic, and offload complex coding to SQL Server, stored procedures when I can. I do get a lot of criticism for taking that strategy sometimes, but I think it makes life easier for applying application updates. I am a SQL server junkie.

thanks, Grey Wilson
