    Default PreserveSingleQuotes() problem

    Hi, I have a database in which some of the text in it has a single quote,
    mainly to show posession, such as " cat's ".
    Anyway, I can't get this function to work properly to display the aposthrophe
    and I keep getting boxes instead. Heres my code, can someone tell me where I
    should impletment the function?
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    <cfquery Name="Projects" datasource="chamber">
    SELECT project, scope, members, year, status
    FROM main ORDER BY year
    </cfquery>

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>List of All</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    ALL THE PROJECTS
    <br>
    <table width="800" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0">
    <tr>
    <td width="100"> Project</td>
    <td width="400"> Project Scope</td>
    <td width="100"> Members</td>
    <td width="100"> Years</td>
    <td width="100"> Status</td>
    </tr>
    <cfoutput query="Projects">
    <tr>
    <td width="100"> #project#</td>
    <td width="400"> #scope#</td>
    <td width="100"> #members# </td>
    <td width="100"> #year# </td>
    <td width="100"> #status# </td>
    </tr>
    </cfoutput>
    </table>
    <p>&nbsp;</p>

    </body>

    Are you copy-and-pasting from a Word document? Microsoft''s smart quotes will
    do this to you. The single quote you see isn't really an ASCII 39. I'd run
    the (untested) debugging code below to see what the character really is.



    <CFOUTPUT>
    <CFLOOP i="1" TO="#Len(offendingString)#>
    <CFSET temp = Mid(offendingString, i, 1)>
    #temp# (#Asc(temp)#)
    </CFLOOP>
    </CFOUTPUT>
