Hi Jeff,

If your code will always be running on Excel 2000 or higher versions of
Excel you can use the VBA Replace function to do this.

Dim szSQLString As String
szSQLString = Replace(txtEntry.Text, "'", "''")

I have a text box that allows the user to type in free
form text. I want to save it to a SQLServer database
table. If the user types in <Here's Johnny!, I can insert
it into SQLServer by inserting the text string <Here''s
Johnny!

My question: is there a function that does this, or do I
process the text string before I insert it to double all
the appostrophe's?

Thanks!
