if you're using SQL Server, your variable can have 's in it and you don't
need to use PreserveSingleQuotes().
can you post the code that doesn't work?

Just thoughts:
1. Search the string before add/update the query and replace the
single quote with a never used character like the pipe "|", then when the
data needs to be rendered on the browser, just search it before display and
replace the pipe with the single quote.
2. Search the string before add/update the query and replace the
single quote with a "chr(39)" this literally should replace all single
quotes with the actual string chr(39), search the string for chr(39) on
output and put pound signs aound it.
It seems to me I have tried using the PreserveSingleQuotes function
with no success.
