Usually it should be \\\ to get a \ ... now lets take a look at your regexp ....
/^[a-zA-Z0-9\(\)]{1}[ a-zA-Z0-9\(\)_\,\.\-\'\"]{1,999}$/^[a-zA-Z0-9()] should work, as ( and ) only needs to be escaped when not within an []-block (cannot recall the name right now)
[- a-zA-Z0-9(),.'\"\\\_]{1,999}$ should be correct here, i am not
sure about the >>.<< and >>,<<. >>'\"<< should be replaced by >>\'"<<
if you use single quotes to build the pattern.Full regexp would be:
#^[a-zA-Z0-9()][- a-zA-Z0-9(),.'\"\\\_]{1,999}$#
or even easier:
#^[a-z0-9()][- a-z0-9(),.'\"\\\_]{1,999}$#iI replaced the delimiter / with # as you don't use it within the regexp and using / makes escaping the >>/<< even worse ( guess it's 7 / then )
Hope this helps you :-)

This is strange. At any rate, I've put the message in an html page on our server.

If anyone could take a look and give me a hint as to what the problem might be I would greatly appreciate it.
Cheers and TIA.
