>>>I am working on a script to create a database in SQL Server 2008. The script includes the creation of UDFs, and at least one of those contains a "?" in the UDF. Since SQLDMO is apparently gone, I am working on using SQLExec() to execute the script. The problem is that SQLExec() is interpreting the "?" as a parameter (and prompting for a value) when it is not. Is there anyway to tell SQLExec() to ignore anything it interprets as a parameter?

Interesting that the ? in the string parameter is interpreted as a parameter. The only quick fix I can think of (and I don't like it) is to replace ? with CHAR (63)
