Apostrophe

I’ve a form with a textbox called Message. When visitor enters text, I use Replace function to handle an apostrophe code that will receive the text and store in the database.
It works fine.
When I try to retrieve the text message, it doesn’t show what I’ve in the DB, but it displays, for example: I?m. It supposes to display as “I’m”

I did try:
<%message= Replace(trim(RS("message")),"'","''")%>
<td><p><%=message%></p></td>

Apostrophe Replacement

I know this is a very commonly asked question, but I can't find a solution
anywhere that I have looked.

I need to take the text that will be typed in paragraph form by the user
(textarea field) and do two things with it:

1. Store it in a SQL Server database field
2. Send it in an email upon page submit.

Of course, single quotes have caused problems, so I have this code:
strInternalDesc =
Replace(Trim(Request.Form("InternalDesc")),"'","''")

Problem is, it shows up like this in the email that is sent:
==============================
We''re in the process of
==============================

I would like to get rid of the double apostrophes, but not sure how. Went to
an article on ASPFAQ, and saw something which directed me to do this:

strInternalDesc =
Replace(Trim(Request.Form("InternalDesc")),"'",chr(34))

However, that just makes it a regular double-quote. I guess I could try and
find out what the character number for apostrophes are, but not sure where
that is. Besides, will that mess up my SQL Server or the email if I do that?

Best Way To Handle An Apostrophe

I know a few ways to handle an apostrophe, but am at a loss for which i should use for this. The ways I know how to deal with it are.

alias = Replace(Request.form("alias"), "'", "''")
alias = Replace(Request.form("alias"), "'", " & #39; ")

The name of the field is self explanitory. When the admin searches for a person using the "'" , " ' ' " method they find the user. But when ever we display that info anyware it has the O''conner setup. Code:

I can sucessfully change that back to an apostrophe everywhere but a text box. Here is my code:

response.write "<input type=text name=title" & icount & " value='" & replace(rs("title") ,"~~~", "'") &"' size=55><br>"

Getting An Apostrophe Through A SQL Statement Successfully

When I want to execute a SQL statement (as we all know) certain characters will cause an error. You can't execute a statement with a " in one of the parameters or else the command will stop short and result in an error.

Let's say for example that I'm trying to update a field named "code" and the value of the field "code" is: Code:

Apostrophe Problem When Adding To DB

I currently have a simple html page that consists of a text box and submit button. A user supplies a quote in the text box and presses the submit button. When the submit button is pressed the quote is added to a ‘Quote’ table in an MS Access database.

This works perfectly well, however if a quote contains an apostrophe, such as … this won’t work… It will not add to the database. If I had typed in …this wont work… It would be added to the database with no problems. Code:

Treat User Input As Text Only (allowing The Apostrophe)

Isn't there some line of code that I can write to tell ASP to treat everything between BLAH and /BLAH as text (including the apostrophe). So that users can type a name of "O'Malley" in a form and I can retrieve it and store it in my database.

Need Info On Using Proper Data Type For Words With Apostrophe

What is the correct data type to use if the phrase I'm saving to my table contains an apostrophe such as in the phrase "yesterda's news". I've tried "text" data type, I've tried "varchar" and "char". They all give me bugs when I save to the database and if I remove the apostrophe from the phrase, then it saves correctly with any data type.
