A forum member gets this error message whenever he tries to edit his user information on "register.asp":

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a005e'

Invalid use of Null: 'Replace'

/forum/functions/functions_filters.asp, line 430

I do not receive this problem when I make updates. So far he seems to be the only one complaining about it. I have no problem changing my own profile information. Does this bug appear in certain browsers. Has anyone else encountered it. I got around it by placing this code:

strTextInput = strTextInput & ""

before any string manipulation takes place to force any NULLS that might show up into becoming strings. Is this the best way to get around it? Will this tactic negatively affect other parts of the forum?

This error shouldn't occur unless this user has disabled javascript on his browser and is trying to get around entering information in a required field.
