Tried another reply and got the database error .

! I believe I may have just stumbled onto the cause of your "database errors" whilst trying to cut-n-paste the text of an email I received from a countrywoman of yours concerning Haynes Manuals
shown here. It's your baroque British apostrophes. I'd figured it had something to do with your posh keyboards, all reeking of Marmite and Lemon Curd instead of orange Cheez-Doodle dust as the Good Lord intended. Seems I'm right.
Remember how I mentioned in some other threads
like this one how the new Forum system's character handling defaults to the
ultra-primitivo Windows US Character Set ca. 1999, and anything else will give it indigestion? Well, the apostrophe you're using is what they call a "Typographic" or "Curly" one, whilst we here in the Colonies and in basic ASCII typefaces use the "Typewriter" or "Straight" one, which combined both the apostrophe as such and the single closing quotation mark on the keyboard. There's more than you ever wanted to know on the matter
beginning here in the Wikipedia article on the Apostrophe, as if this Forum hasn't already had enough discussion about them.
Suffice it to say that if you try respond to this posting with a simple
"It's...", and it chokes, then we've maybe found your database fouling culprit. If so, then look around on the keyboard and see if there isn't some other workaround option for you. Or, perhaps I should just cross-post this into the
Forum Improvements section, assuming anyone who can do anything about it is even paying attention there.
...maybe time the database manager joined the 21st Century!
