Has anyone had to send a string parameter containing the & with quotes around it?

ie.

promptex0="B&C-I"

I keep getting a syntax error because the activex viewer cuts the parm off at the B because URL sytax uses the &...

Thanks!

Try replacing the & with %26 (that's the ASCII code for it)

I tried the %26 but it still doesn't work. I actually do a URLEncode on it before I call the viewer...

I ended up ditching the URLEncode in favor of the REPLACE function and it does indeed work.

Thanks so much for your help!
