We have had a lot of problems with characters inserted in the db making the
data "unloadable". I had to write a routine that would strip out unwanted
characters. This was especially a problem when text was pasted into
multi-line text boxes. Since we wanted to maintain Chr(10) and Chr(13) for
formatting purposes, we substitute acceptable characters when the data is
stored and then replace the characters when we display them.

I was thinking ... I know, I need to stop that....
If a database is unloaded to a file... What do all you guru's
check for in that file as far as when you look for bad characters.
I have seen this commemnt about checking for such, but I am at a loss
as to what to check for. I don't have any major problems at the moment,
and this came to my feeble mind.
