Deanna,
I'm using SQL Server 7. The problem is that the field with the
characters to be replaced is a TEXT field, and you can't use the REPLACE
function on a TEXT field. And, unfortunately, the data is too big in
some of the records to CAST to VARCHAR.
Here is the SQL that I've tried using:
---------------------------------------------
select
msgID,
msgSent,
msgFromType,
msgFromID,
msgSubject,
REPLACE (CAST(msgMessage AS varchar(8000)), CHAR(13), '<BR>') AS
newMessage,
msgOriginal,
attID
into tblMessageNew
from tblMessage
----------------------------------------------
In records where the value of msgMessage is greater than 8000
characters, the SQL bombs and no results are returned.
