You need to provide more code.

Where does msg come from? where are you adding the result to?

best is to upload a small project

Apart from the fact that it should be

msg = msg.Replace("%","%25")

it works fine for me.

The error message seems to indicate an out of memory problem.

Yeah. Thanks.

Helping a friend who gets the same error msg...

If you DON'T assign the result of Replace to a variable, you get an error msg ONLY if there are special chars involved.

[obviously, it is always needed to assign the value to a variable using Replace]
