symbols in the XML string. Since my initial string has these symbols for "business" reasons, I cannot use the STRTRAN() suggested by Antonio (since it will replace all the "business/necessary") symbols. So, when storing the data in the table field I need to convert the values of < and > to something else. I can change them to > but then it will look "strange" to the user, when they view it in the report.

1662607This is where I started this message :). I cannot change the Greater than to the &+gt because the string has many of these symbols, inserted by the code, for a reason; that is, they are needed. This is why I want to change the greater than symbol, entered by a user, to a double right pointing angle.
