Re: [MS_AccessPros] Apostrophe in Variable

 

Dear paco6945- (name?)

Try this:

SELECT Part FROM tblPart INNER JOIN tblPartSupplier ON tblPart.Part = tblPartSupplier.Part WHERE (((tblPartSupplier.Supplier)= """ & varSupplier & """" & ")"

I'm having a problem with the syntax for passing a variable whose definition contains an apostrophe to a SQL statement. I can never seem to get the punctuation right.

This doesn't work what I tried passing the name WITH the variable in code:

SELECT Part FROM tblPart INNER JOIN tblPartSupplier ON tblPart.Part = tblPartSupplier.Part WHERE (((tblPartSupplier.Supplier)= '" & varSupplier & "'" & ")"

It translates to:

SELECT Part FROM tblPart INNER JOIN tblPartSupplier ON tblPart.Part = tblPartSupplier.Part WHERE (((tblPartSupplier.Supplier)= 'Plumber's Supply')

What I need to end up with is double quotes around the supplier name: ("Plumber's Supply")

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
