Fix Single Quotes in a SQL Statement

The following will replace all single quotes in a SQL statement [CHR(39)] with anapostrophe [CHR(180)]. This is useful if you are trying to add names to adatabase as parameter values or using inline SQL.

The SQL statementInsert Into tablename(fldName) Values (SomeValue) will fail for values likeO’Tool. If you use the Replace command Replace(“O’Tool”,Chr(34),Chr(180)), the SQL statement will succeed with the new value of O.
