    I need to strip a variable of certain characters (& / \ etc).  I'm using the replace method like this

    wname=qryPL.replace("&","")
    wname=wname.replace("',"")
    wname=wname.replace("/","")

    The only replacement that works is whichever character I place in the first_ line.  Once I'm acting on the variable wname it doesnt work.  I can change the characters to be replaced around and only the one in the first line works.

    Is there something different I need when acting on the vairiable?

      Did you try ?
      wname=qryPL.replace("&","").replace("',"").replace("/","")

      Thanks for using the LawsonGuru.com forums!
