How can I replace an odd character in a string?

Are you trying to modify the device string or the text in the email?

The function you are trying to use is designed to set a device value, which is a number.
You could do something like:

Dim X As String = hs.DeviceString(481)
X = Replace(X, "&", " ") 
hs.SetDeviceString(481, X, False)

but I'm not sure that is going to help because you may be using the device status text, which is not the same as the device string.

Beautiful!
That solved it.
I was accessing the device string and yes, only really wanted to reformat it for the email, but this is perfect too.
Much thanks - such a simple solution yet makes a great difference.

Enjoy your weekend.
