I am having problems with apostrophes...
I'm in Excel, and using Excel VBA, I utilize an ADODB connection to get data
out of Access
The user enters a company name (eg, General Motors), and all the deals for
General Motors are returned.
The simplified line of SQL is:
HAVING (((Deals.Company)="General Motors"));
But in Excel VBA, the quotations are changed for apostrophes
HAVING (((Deals.Company)='General Motors'));
And I use a variable, rather than the company name
[Earlier]
myCompany= InputBox("What company?")
[Later]
HAVING (((Deals.Company)="'" & myParent & "'"));
This works for 99% of my companies, but not for companies with an apostrophe
in it. eg "Foster's Group". For this company, I get an error when I come to
extract the data.
Can anyone advise me how to handle this variation?
Thanks
Daniel
