You can use ini_set() in all of your scripts (or include file), or .htaccess depending on your server. php_value magic_quotes_gpc 0 Does Access escape it's quotes with an additional ' instead of an \ ? If so, then you should look at magic_quotes_sybase. Turning it on will escape strings with a ' instead of an \. It also can be set in .htaccess or ini_set(). ---John Holmes...
