try this:

<cfset nDescription=REReplace(nDescription, "\[\*/\[]\{}&\^%\$&\\"']", '',
'ALL')>

if you've got the CF green book by Forta, it lists the special chars as:
+*?.[^$(_{|\

and you escape each by putting \ in front of it.

heres the code:

<cfset nDescription=REReplace(nDescription, "[*\/[]{}&^%$&"']", '', 'ALL')>

I think the ' in theh replacement strig is causing the crash. How do I
esacape it?

Cheers,
Douglas McKenzie
