I need to write out a SQL statement to a string and set it to a varible inwhich i can call it from the EXEC() command. However in my SQL state ment I have to use single quotes for string criteria for example : SELECT email FROM table WHERE donotemail = 'Y' But what I have to do is take that exmple and set it to a variable like so: @QUERY= 'SELECT email FROM table WHERE donotemail = 'Y'' How do I escape the single quotes around the Y? This is being done inside a stored proc in SQL2K. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
