Re: Apostrophe in XUpdate select string

Hi Yan,

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't help. I just get a different 
error now:

2005-04-20 21:55:27,211 [http-8080-Processor21] INFO  
org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodBase - Recoverable exception 
caught when processing request
2005-04-20 21:55:27,251 [http-8080-Processor21] WARN  
org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodBase - Recoverable exception 
caught but MethodRetryHandler.retryMethod() returned false, rethrowing 
exception

Thanks anyway!
