Re: How to dispaly a field with invalid data?

[Rich Duzenbury <rduz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Parse the field and convert the characters below x'40' to a space, (or 
similar) before displaying it.  This happened to me on a database 
conversion several years ago and the only solution I found was to go back 
to the database and clean up the bogus data.
