you might find useful the VB function "replace"have an external .vb file with a function like this:

function fixit (theString)        fixit = replace (theString, "@", "-")        fixit = replace (theString, "!", "-")        fixit = replace (theString, "%", "-")        fixit = replace (theString, "$", "-")   (... so on ...)end function

and when you take the values, filter them through that function.

      variable = fixit (trim(request("variable")))

Matar,I guess you want to check if the textbox value is ONLY alphabet and no symbols or numbers. you can do this with regexRegex in ASPhttp://authors.aspalliance.com/brettb/VBSc...Expressions.aspRegex for only alphabets -- "[a-zA-Z]"
