Sean,
Try using the PreserveSingleQuotes() function.
<cfquery name="myquery" ...>
insert into mytable(MESSAGE_MEM)
values('#trim(PreserveSingleQuotes(Message))#')
</cfquery>

Subject: escaping apostrophes for database insertion.
Lets say I have a variable called message.
Message looks like:
<cfset message = "I can't make it today">
I want to input it into a database:
<cfquery name="myquery" ...>
insert into mytable(MESSAGE_MEM)
values('#trim(Message)#')
</cfquery>
Because CF thinks the apostrophe in "can't" is closing the inserting
variable I get this error.
ODBC Error Code = 37000 (Syntax error or access violation)
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Line 10: Incorrect syntax
near 't'.
What is the trick for escaping the apostrophe?
