An error has occured while processing HtmlTextBox

[Shonda]

I am getting the error message "

An error has occured while processing HtmlTextBox 'htmlTextBox1':

" when my report is displayed. The rest of the report looks just fine.

The data the is supposed to be in the textbox is just a string w/o any HTML markup ("Mother & sister w/ thyroid dz. Positive for CA & HTN.").

This was working in my testing environment and when I moved it to my production environment I began to get the error.

Are there any common problems with the HtmlTextBox that I should be aware of? Is there something I could do to get the true error message?

I figured it out on my own.  It turns out that the HtmlTextbox does not like the special chars: &, < or > in a string that is not represented in the html special char markup of s&amp; &gt or &lt.  It seems to be only these 3 that I have identified as the problems. I have not tried all, but the most common of the special chars.

Thank you very much for posting this.  I just wasted two hours chasing this - should have hit Google earlier.
