Say you wanted to output the left 20 characters and then the "..." you'd do the following :-
myString = "here's what I am using. A Dummy data in xml." response.write left(myString, 20) & "..." That won't change any data in the database as you're not performing and update SQL statement or using the update method of a recordset.
