google won't crawl due to %3F

Googlebot won't crawl my site as it is transposing %3F for the ? symbol
and getting 404s

ie

script.php?value=001728

is being reffered to as

script.php%3Fvalue=001728


Any ideas ?

Get rid of the ?

If its got too many to deal with then it won't.

Thanks Mogga but you can't have more than one "?" in a URL as it is the
delimiter between the requested file and any parameters passed to it.

I did manage to solve the problem in the end using mod_rewrite.
