[FX.php List] Re: Mysterious asterisks appearing in fields

Ha. Well, I'm almost out of ideas. Time to start clutching at straws  
here: Have you ever tried using completely different names for the  
fields? Seems silly, but just the other day I ran into an instance  
where MySQL queries failed when I used specific words for field names  
(I think it was "value"). The field names you're using sound  
hauntingly familiar to field names used by Exchange - maybe that's  
why IIS is *highlighting* them? Again, this seems ridiculous, but  
stranger things have happened.
