Problem with the "Replace" function

[Gary Williams]

Hi All,

In an asp page, I need to replace all instances of "&" in company names (coname) with "and".

I have used Replace(coname,"&","and") but when I access this page, I get the following error:

Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0414'

Cannot use parentheses when calling a Sub

/companypage.asp, line 145

Replace(coname,"&","and")
-------------------------^

I have tried other combinations of ' and " but no luck yet. How else can I achieve this character replacement?

Regards

Gary

Assign it to a variable


newVar = Replace(coname,"&","and")

Hi degsy,

You genius! It worked a treat.

Many thanks
