well \ is a C type escape character. So like a new line is \n or backspace is \b if you double the \ that is the escape character for \
so D:\\data\\book1 should do it. -----Original Message----- From: FlashGuy [mailto:flashmx@;rogers.com] Sent: Thursday, October 31, 2002 9:47 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: OT: MySQL & CF Hi, Something weird is happening. Before I switched my databases from Access to MySQL my app was working OK. Now when I insert data into my SQL database one of the fields is getting mucked up and I don't know why? Here is an example of a entry how is *should* appear in the database: Should be: env_var = book1 destination = D:\data\book1 This is what getting input into my SQL database: env_var = book1 destination = D:|ata|ook1 Its like the "\b" is getting interpreted into a wacko ASCII character? Both fields in my table are varchar(255) types --------------------------------------------------- Colonel Nathan R.
