using apostrophe in Access string fields
hi,
I am using some simple string fields in a simple Access
database table. Sometimes I have apostrophes in the text data eg
in a name field I may have John O'Hara. If I build my insert
query this apostrophe causes me a problem eg
"insert into mytable (name) values ('John O'Hara')"
the apostrophe in the O'Hara signals the end of the string and
my sql code fails. How can I overcome this ? Is there a way that
I can keep the original text in the data or do I have to substitute
the apostrophe character for something else like "`" ?
Cheers muchly.
