you could use the following replace() vbscript function....

usage would be something like this

Replace(string_returned_for_db,string_you_are_look ing_for, "<b>" & string_you_are_looking_for & "</b>")

the result would bold the output if it was being viewed on the web.

------------ generic usage is----------------------------
Dim MyString
' A binary comparison starting at the beginning of the string.
'MyString = Replace("XXpXXPXXp", "p", "Y")
' Returns "XXYXXPXXY".
------------ generic usage is----------------------------

VBScript reference is at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ifunctions.asp



below are some of th specifics about the replace function from the page
