You stand correct - I thought of this right after I posted, tested, and that fixed the problem! I really wish these things wouldn't fail silently...sigh.... Thanks.

Folks, Has anyone noticed a bug where the "replace" command fails within a script? I have a script which does a find to select a subset of records, and then does a Replace Contents [No Dialog, "field", """" ]. The Replace just doesn't happen. No error, no nothing. If I run the script in the debugger, step by step, it *does* work, so something is clearly amok. Any suggestions on diagnosing/fixing this? Is there some time when the Replace will fail? I can reproduce at will. Thanks, David.

That's it, thanks. I tried three, didn't try four.... And searching for "quote" in the forums is a lost cause.

Howdy, I can't believe there's not a way to do this, but I have been unsucessful thus far. In a script, I need to insert a pair of quotation marks around the characters I'm searching for. So, how do I get a quote to insert? I can't find a function that does it, and trying an odd-number of double-quotes gives an error. What's the secret? In my case, I need to insert this: "," as the the text I'm searching for. Thanks.
