Hi gang: I have a problem where I have lot’s of people going to be putting data into a form. I can handle that OK — it's not a problem scrubbing the data for db storage. However, some of these “civilians” will use WORD even though the instructions tell them to use a text processor, only enter text, and NOT to use WORD! Unfortunately, I know it will be a losing battle because I am up against hundreds of people who want to submit data as they think it should look (i.e., bold, italic, different fonts, size, styles, and the list goes on an on). Also, I am positive some of you have solved this problem before by using preg_match, or regex, or some other method. So, I am asking to just to save myself some time. Does anyone have any code they can share? Thanks, Tedd _______________ Tedd Sperling tedd.sperling@xxxxxxxxx
