Dave, I just ran this and it worked fine. I am on CFMX 7. What version are you running? Did you try using CFQueryParam for the value?

One of my values has a single quote in it. When I dump the query, I can see the value with the single quote. But when I do a Q of Q on it to find the specific record based on a string comparison, I get zero results. I've tried using preserveSingleQuotes() around the value, and even tried replacing the value's single quote with two single quotes, but I can't find the right combination to get it to work. Either I get zero results, or a ColdFusion "error executing database query" (query of queries syntax error) which is actually kind of funny since it's not really a database query anyway. But that's beside the point. Anyway, here is my sample code to show you what's happening. If anyone can figure this one out, I would greatly appreciate it. I must be "forgetting" something simple! <cfset qDave = queryNew("mystring")> <cfset queryAddRow(qDave)> <cfset querySetCell(qDave,"mystring","This is Dave's test.")> <cfset sSearchString = "This is Dave's test."> <cfdump var="#qDave#"> <cfquery dbtype="query" name="q"> SELECT * FROM qDave WHERE mystring = '#sSearchString#' </cfquery> <cfdump var="#q#"> TIA!
