OPPS!
I missed the last comma in the 2nd replace it should be string1 =
replace(string1, chr(34),"</b>",1,1,0)
Also, if you had the possibility of multiple quoted strings in a single
string you could replace the two lines with:
while instr(string1,chr(34))
string1 = replace(string1, chr(34),"<b>",1,1,0)
string1 = replace(string1, chr(34),"</b>",1,1,0)
wend
